" 'We ... preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, who in bygone generations allowed all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless He did not leave Himself a without a witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.' "
Acts 14:15b-18
Paul and Barnabas came to give witness to God's grace, but the people wanted to worship them. God has given us all of creation as a witness to His greatness and goodness. Yet generation after generation, people of all nations have walked in their own ways and turned to "useless things" instead of Him. They have "worshiped the creature more than the Creator" (Romans 1:25). God is so patient and longsuffering, calling us to Himself, if only we would listen to His witness.
Today's Thought: Worshiping God's creation instead of the Creator is a useless thing.
Have a "useful" day. Love you.
