Ezra 5-7; Psalm 115
*Click here to read these passages:
This verse from Psalm 115 grabbed me today: “Those who make them
will be like them, and so will all who trust in them” (Verse 8). This is
talking about people who trust in idols they make out of silver and gold.
They have mouths but can’t speak, eyes but can’t see, ears but
can’t hear, noses but can’t smell, hands but can’t feel, and feet but can’t
walk. This is at first describing
the lifeless worthless idols, but then it says that it also describes those who
trust in them. People who are
basically empty with no purpose.
But life in Christ is to truly live! In Him life has meaning. In Him life has purpose.
“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new
person. The old life is gone; a
new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
