What a blessing that we share in the sentiments expressed about Israel and recognize we too are the people of God with even a better covenant through the blood of Christ as well as being grafted into Abraham. We too are God’s treasured possessions. We too recognize the power and glory expressed in creation. Even now as we understand the inner working of creation better than the Psalmist, we are even more amazed how God is glorified in the grandeur of the heavens as well as the complexity within a cell or an atom. Creation still declares His glory. We too understand the power of His redemption and the work He has done in our lives. Israel points to the miracles wrought in Egypt, we see the power of God in the miracles of Christ as well as the ways that God continues to work on our behalf. We too recognize the victories He has won, the hearts He has changed and the ways He has overcome. We too recognize the fleeting and empty nature of the world’s idols. Today they may not worship wood or stone, but they still worship things that are finite: themselves, others, material things, money, power, influence, importance. All things that do not satisfy like Jesus, that do not fill us like the Spirit moving in our lives. What greater confidence and security we have in a God who is constant and in control. Praise be to HIs name!
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
17they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
