The abiding tendency of the experience in life without a personal knowledge of God is to become more and more convinced that individual life is a delusion. Spiritually it is made to mean that we have to lose ourselves in God. That is never taught in the Bible. Our type of life is the Lord Jesus Christ—a strong, vigorous, intense, separate Personality; He never lost Himself in God; and the one thing that the Holy Spirit does is to develop and increase the value of our personality to God. Verses 1-5 are a warning against idolatry because it leads to nothingness. If once we forget that God is holy, we will be inclined to pay attention to premonitions, to fatalistic notions. Jeremiah says, Have nothing to do with such things (10:2). Beware of every profession of wisdom that takes a line that leads away from the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
