Grace for your spirit February 21, 2013

Grace for your spirit
I observe that you are very religious in all respects.  For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an alter with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD,    Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.  Acts 17:22-23

False worshipers don't serve the same idols every day..  As we search the panorama of things to worship, we can always find something or somebody to be our source. We usually pick the shiniest thing to be our god.  Religion and superstitions can move us from one god to another. The men of Athens had many such focuses of worship.  Each day they could pick the god they needed today.  We still suffer from the same troubles today.  Anything that comes between us and God is an idol, and there often are so many things. God demands to be first and only.  When we exalt God, and honor Christ, focusing on Him, it will take our eyes off the panorama and onto our Savior.
