—Acts 17:22-34
by: Gabi Patz.
It is easy for us laugh as we read about the Athenians trying to create God from gold and silver. After all, how could the created make the Creator? However, we are also often guilty of trying to make God something He is not. I have tried to fit God into my own box or mold countless times, just for Him to repeatedly show me that He cannot be contained into my idea of what He should be. Acts 17:22-34 calls us to repent. God has made us His offspring. He has given us life and movement. Our response to this is to revere God for who He has said He is, rather than trying to make Him into something He is not.
