"Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, 'Men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the object of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.' "
Acts 17:22-23
Everyone is religious, whether they admit it or not, because everyone worships something without knowing it. As I look around, I can see many object of worship – a car, boat, or house; a job; money; education; sex; fame. Some people even worship such mundane things as a whiskey bottle, or needle, or toque. Whatever the focus of a life is or what people give their life to, that is the object of worship. But these object of worship are in place of the true God – THE UNKNOWN GOD. Without realizing it, people seek to satisfy the craving of their spirit for the true God by worshiping things.
Today's Thought: Objects of worship are poor substitutes for worship of the true God.
Have a worshiping day (of the KNOWN GOD). Love you.
