Jeremiah 10:11

 Jeremiah 10:11 says, Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.  God told Jeremiah to tell the people of Israel that the false gods, those that had not made the heavens and the earths, would perish from the heavens and the earth.  There is coming a day when all the false gods, which is anything that we allow to become more important to us than God is, are going to disappear.  We can have no other  gods before God nor can we love the things of this world more than God and still be faithful to Him.  Verse twelve declares, He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.  God said that Jeremiah was to tell the people that God was the One Who had created everything by His power and under His design.  Though many people claim that the world is a cosmic accident, if we are truly followers of Christ then we must acknowledge that God is the source of all creation.  God created everything by His wisdom and nothing is ever just a random part of creation.  We either believe this or not.  Verse thirteen adds, When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.  God said that He made the lightning and the rain.  God is in control of the universe, except for the power that He still allows Satan to have today and the fact that He allows each individual to say no to His will.  There is coming a day when even this will no longer be true and all things will be done according to God's will.  Verse fourteen declares, Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.  God said that those who believe in false gods that have no power are brutish in their knowledge.  They are  unwilling to let go of the lies and believe the truth.  Verse fifteen adds, They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.  God said that these other gods were a vanity. or nothing, and that they would perish when the judgment comes.  Verse sixteen continues, The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.  God said that He, the God of Jacob, is not like the other gods.  He is the former of all things and He is the judge of all things.  Verse seventeen concludes, Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.  God told them that it was time to gather up their wares from out of the land and to come to the fortress of God.  The only place that we can find real peace and security is in the will of God.
