“Their idols are silver and gold, the work of man’s hands. They have
mouths, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see; they have
ears, but they cannot hear; they have noses, but they cannot smell;” (Psalm
115:2-6)

Technology is an idol of this
age. Sports and entertainment are idols of this age. We have many things that people
worship and where does it get them? These things consume our time and take our
minds off higher things. We listen to these dead gods and think that in them is
life. Life comes only from the One who has created life. Come to the Lord and
know that He alone is good and worthy.

Lord, clear my mind to see more clearly the truth that tools we have
created answer no questions of meaning . Guide me in the way I should go that I
would not be caught up in the nonsensical thinking of this world. You alone
give life. Lead me to see that in You alone is meaning, hope and the only
future that is good.

Lord Jesus, You have come to lead
me into an abundant life. Teach me what I need to know that I may see more
clearly the state of this world. Help me now and always to see through what
this world offers that I may not fall prey to the false gods of this age. They
are unthinking and uncaring. You alone have the words of eternal life. Lead me
ever closer to You my Savior. Amen.
