1Ki 20:23
Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.
What ignorance!
People always ask, "Where is your God?" And when I replied, "He is everywhere," they don't seem too satisfied with that answer. They need an object of worship. They need something physical. They need to see their gods. But don't they realise that God is Spirit (John 4:24)? Don't they realise that God is God of the universe and everything in it?
When we talk about religion and faith and God, isn't it understood that it is something spiritual? Why do many still insist on the physical? They insist that they see miracles, signs and wonders. They insist that they must grow wealthier and healthier. They insist on prayer water and baptism water, or talisman and crystals. They insist that God be seen.
They insist on their own gods. Created their own gods to suit their appetite. They didn't realise that God is God of everything. He is not just the God of the hills, but also of the valleys, and of the entire universe. Since He created all these out of His own hands.
What ignorance. What shame. What pity. :(
