I saw this image as a child, a man holding up the world. As I grew older, it was clear to me what this image suggested. It suggested that mere men were holding the world together. How so untrue and so misleading. For it is written in Psalms 50:1 The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people; Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah
Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God. I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me. I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? Sacrifice thank offerings to God fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you will honor me.
How appalling to his name, another idol, driving men in sane. This is the year of 2008, there I nothing about man that is great. Wall street have fallen and still failing, coming to a crash, taking the world with it, now that's something to think about. When I think of this idol, I think atlas is it's name, not sure, doesn't matter, because it's all in sane, for Psalms 50:1 also says But to the wicked, God says: What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers. You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit. You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son. These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue; He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.
So in writing this statement and being appall, I will give Jesus Christ my all. No idol worship, no not at all, just Jesus Christ in everything, with glory and honor and listening to his call.
Always Remember To Read Your Bible!
