Psalm 115 Have Done with Lesser Things

Psalm 115 excerpts

Their gods are made……. by the hands of men….

These gods have eyes, but cannot see……

They have ears, but cannot hear…..

They have mouths, but cannot speak……

Those who make these gods, and trust in them,

Will be like them.

What have we put our trust in?

What have we fashioned for ourselves,

In our attempts to find Life?

What lesser things have I looked to…..

Believing……….

Somehow……….

Some way……

If I can just have this one thing…….

So many lesser gods…..

So much trusting in my own abilities;

Abilities to manipulate and maneuver……

To get…….

What?

If it is nothing else, this Christian Life…….

It is a commitment;

A commitment to…..

Reality……..

Truth………

Even………

Sanity.

Truth-

There is but One God….

Creator of all that was, or is, or ever will be…..

Powerful beyond imagination,

Good beyond description,

Loving beyond comprehension.

Oh, Christian,

Oh, Charles,

Have done with lesser gods,

Have done with lesser things.

Look to Jesus………

And Live…..

Live from Christ in you…..

And so truly…….

Live!

Psalm 115:17-18

It is not the dead who praise the LORD…….

It is we who extol Him;

Both now and forever more.

Praise the LORD.

Amen
