Exodus 23:24-25
Amplified Bible (AMP)
24 You shall not bow down to their gods or serve them or do after their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break down their pillars and images.
25 You shall serve the Lord your God; He shall bless your bread and water, and I will take sickness from your midst.
If you're in a furnace, it's easy to catch on fire. God warned the Israelites about their neighbors whose beliefs and actions could turn them away from Him. We also live with neighbors whose values may be completely different from ours. We are called to maintain a life-style that shows our faith. This can be a struggle, especially if our Christian life-style differ from the norm. Our lives should show that we put obeying God before doing what is praised and accepted by society.
