59. When God heard this, he was wroth. The mere
report of it filled him with indignation; he could not bear it, he was incensed
to the uttermost, and most justly so. And greatly abhorred Israel. He
cast his idolatrous people from his favor, and left them to themselves, and
their own devices. How could he have fellowship with idols? Sin is in itself so
offensive that it makes the sinner offensive too. We must see to it that we
keep ourselves from idols through divine grace, for rest assured, idolatry is
not consistent with true grace in the heart. Where the Lord dwells, no image of
jealousy will be tolerated.
