Deuteronomy 16:21-22 Which the Lord your God hates!

 21Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God, 22and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.


“Such sacred totems were common among the Canaanites. Israel might have been tempted to be “seeker sensitive” and add such items to their worship of the God of Israel. He wanted none of it. God says of such thing, which the LORD your God hates.” (Guzik)


Which the Lord your God hates

Poles, pillars, false gods, He wanted none of it, which the LORD your God hates. 

Do you understand that anything you put in place of Him will burn His anger and He will hate it?


Think of it this way, you get married and create a child out of love. You raise that child rightly in a Christian home. When the child becomes a teen, they become addicted to meth and become a wreak, stealing to feed their habit. You still love the child but you hate what they become.


The same goes for the Lord, He still loves you but He hates your false gods. Burn down your poles, pillars and alters of the false gods and return to Him today.

He’s waiting for His prodigal to come back home.

Blessings
