[Today: Deuteronomy 12]: Putting Away Our Idols. In this chapter, the people are instructed how to respond to the idols they encounter in Canaan. The promised land was a landscape of idolatry. It speaks of the minefield of spiritual seduction that you face every day in the world around you and even in the culture of the church. God wants your dependency to be on who He is on the inside of you, not on any false outward resource. When this is brought about in your life, and the idols are destroyed, you will see God's promised increase, promotion, and security on the ascendency.
