Pointing To God

Acts 14

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard what was happening, they tore their clothing in dismay and ran out among the people, shouting, 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings—just like you! We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things and turn to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.16 In the past he permitted all the nations to go their own ways, 17 but he never left them without evidence of himself and his goodness. For instance, he sends you rain and good crops and gives you food and joyful hearts.”

So, people are trying to worship Barnabas and Paul as gods because of the works they perform. But these two men of God quickly try to put a stop to such foolishness, letting the people know that they are mere men, and that it is the God of the Universe Who should be worshipped. The God Who created the heavens and the earth. The God Who has revealed Himself through nature so that no man is without excuse. May my life point others to the LORD God Almighty always, and may His Name be praised forever!
