What is Worth Less? |
||
Read how the
psalmist describes an idol and see if you can think of anything that is
worth less than it. "They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have
they, but they see not: they have ears, but they hear not: noses have
they, but they smell not: they have hands, but they handle not: feet have
they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat"
(Psalm 115:5-7). People have actually made such things and called them
their gods.
Look what else the psalmist said about those who make them. "They that make them are like them; so is everyone that trusteth in them." It is so pathetic that intelligent people could ever put something, anything, before the true and living God. Yet, this is a major folly of humankind. |
