"Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, 'Great is Diana of the Ephesians'.....But when they found out that he [Alexander] was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, 'Great is Diana of the Ephesians.' "
Acts 19:28, 34
The setting: The silversmiths in Ephesus, who crafted idols of the goddess Diana, were losing business because so many people were turning to Christ. So they held a protest demonstration. Their chant (as there always must be) was, "Great is Diana," which they yelled for about two hours. This chastises me. I sometimes get irritated when worship at church goes too long. If people who serve a false god with ulterior motives can sing her praises for two hours, how can I, who worship the true and living God, complain about 30 minutes?
Today's Thought: Sometimes those who worship false gods put Christians to shame by their fervor.
Have a worshiping day. Love you.
