Idols sight exasperated
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he grew exasperated at the sight of the city full of idols. So he debated in the synagogue with the Jews and with the worshipers, and daily in the public square with whoever happened to be there. Even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers engaged him in discussion. Some asked, “What is this scavenger trying to say?” Others said, “He sounds like a promoter of foreign deities,” because he was preaching about ‘Jesus’ and ‘Resurrection.’ Acts 17:16-18
Remember Your Compassion and Your Mercy, O LORD, for they are ages old. Psalm 25:6
“Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.” Luke 17:3-4
Acts 17:16-18, Psalm 25 & Luke 17:3-4
Seems appropriate the day before the elections that we find Paul being exasperated from the sight of idols littering the landscape creating further-and-further division among a humanity by worshiping the lifeless in an ass golden or a pile of petrified animal waste with unknown origins causing a stink of being unwelcomed by the promoter of Christ. We see the reluctance to even consider the wrongs of a side so blatantly guilty not being held accountable in the misrepresentations of hope, faith and love of mankind’s Truth.
What we need to get now what we need to understand is the forgiveness we must ensue by living Redeemed stating numerous times or as I like to preach saying “I’m sorry” over-and-over again by the actions of goodwill becoming more informative than hostile towards the opponents of life by the soundings of choice instilled by a negligent teacher of life’s growth in times essential for true recognition of benevolence is lived in making God First the first thought, action or deed of the day’s practice, prayer and proclamation of the Lord’s Truth worshiping not the idols of stink but the Spirit in sync. Amen.
Let us pray Heavenly Father keep us focused Spiritually in-sync with Salvation’s duty. Closerwalkmedia.com WedSun 7:55 IN Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
