Isaiah 33-35, Galatians 1: Psalm 135: 13-21
Psalm 135: 15-18 (ESV)
“The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of
human hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not
see; they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. Those
who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.”
Verses 15 through 18 from Psalm 135 makes so much sense to
me that if you worship an idol that is not God, you will become like the idol. These
verses talk about idols made of silver and gold, which people used to worship when
this Psalm was being written. These idols have eyes and ears, but they do not
see or hear because they are not alive. But I think “idols” can also apply to
more modern idols that are worshipped like money, prestige, or fame. If we
worship idols other than God, we will become like these “idols”. We will not
see, hear, and become dead inside like our “idols”.
Worshipping money makes our life easier and can answer material
prayers, but the idol of money doesn’t care about us. The idol of money is not
moved by our prayers and is an indifferent God. For people who belief in God,
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, we worship a living God. Our God has eyes to
see our lives, ears to hear our prayers, and is alive and has powers to answer
our prayers and shower us in miracles in our life if we need them. I am glad I
worship a God who cares about me and only wants to the best for me in my life.
