—Isaiah 42:10-17
by: Victoria Shephard.
It has often bothered me that the Bible speaks of pagans as worshipping idols. It was true back then, but how was I, as a baby Christian, to apply these verses to myself? Modern day pagans generally don’t worship idols. But I have come to see that these verses aren’t that far off. The idols are still there, but they are invisible. Whether a stone statue or simply a very wrong concept, pagans aren’t worshipping the One who should be worshipped. They hold something in their hearts higher than the God who actually created them and, even today, are deaf to his call in their lives.
