Acts 17:23 "for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

Each time I read this verse I have pictures going round in my head about all the rows of gods that some religions have and how those people must grow weary of having to look in so many directions!

I thank my God daily that He alone is my salvation and that He alone is God of heaven and earth. It is to Him alone that I can confidently lift up my prayers knowing that He is listening!

Praise God!

John 4:22 "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

There are times when we need to stop and think about what we are doing; that time may well be right now!

God does not require us to go to a particular place, do a particular thing in the same way as it has always been done just so that He will listen to our prayers!

Don’t get hung up in worshipping without fully realising what you are doing and why you are doing it. Habits are not good because they take you away from God; they blind your heart!

Jeremiah 3:23 Truly, in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, And from the multitude of mountains; Truly, in the LORD our God Is the salvation of Israel.

Our salvation does not come from earthly things; no matter how grand and all-encompassing our world may be, salvation comes from our Lord alone!

People will lift up all manner of things instead of God just so that they can feel good or feel like they have some sort of worth.

If only people would look at God and realise that we are worth so much more just because it is God who considers us worth so much!

Psalm 121:1 I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills - From whence comes my help?

I love the way this Psalm starts because it shows humility, dependence, confidence and willingness all in the first few words!

We need to remember that our prayers do get lifted up to God and that we should be lifting up our prayers constantly, not just when we think we need to, but always.

And then we need to remember that God is listening; that should give us the confidence that He alone is willing and able to answer every one of our prayers.

God will answer, when we call!
