Jeremiah 10:6-7

All this is nothing compared to you, O GOD. You’re wondrously great, famously great. Who can fail to be impressed by you, King of the nations? It’s your very nature to be worshiped! Look far and wide among the elite of the nations. The best they can come up with is nothing compared to you.
— The Message
LORD, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power. Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you.
— New Living Translation

Know what you worship. In the initial verses in this chapter God warns not to be impressed by the glitz and glamour of the world. Its idols are only wood dressed up with tinsel. The more we know of the one true infinite and eternal God, the more there is to discover. Knowing God is both the goal and the practice of our faith.

Lord, you are bread and drink to satisfy for eternity. May I always feed on you, grow in you. Keep me pointing in your direction, like a dog on a scent. Let everything else decrease as you fill my vision with your glory, making me more real and more useful to you and your work in the world.
