Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for believers who want to reach those who spend their time worshipping images made with human hands.
Idols are real. Ever enter an Asian restaurant and see a stature of Buddha?
Psalm 115:4-8 (ESV) describes idols and makes a person wonder what their worshipers see in them.
“Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.”
Pray. If given the opportunity, share your faith with someone who worships an idol. Never underestimate the power of idols to replace the living God in your own life. Is there something or someone who has become more important than God? Pray.
