In Psalm 115 we read

Where is their God?

Our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.

Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.

Similarly in Isaiah 48:5b,14b we read

You could not say, ‘My images brought them about; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.'

Which of the idols has foretold these things?

The other day I came across this testimony.

Walking through the road of life fell into a great ditch.
The ditch was filled with depression, discouragement, and sin.
Lying in that ditch I had some visitors.

• Mohammed came along and said, ‘It’s your fault you’re in the ditch. You offended Allah, and this is your just punishment.’
  
  
• Marx came by and said, ‘You’re in the ditch because of class warfare. You must revolt.’
  But after the government changed, I was still in my ditch.
  
  
• Buddha came along and said, ‘You’re not really in that ditch. You just think you’re there. It’s all an illusion of the mind. Be at peace.’
  
  
• Confucius came by and said, ‘Here are the 10 steps of self-attainment by which you can get out of your ditch. If you will struggle, you will climb out eventually.’
  But as much as I struggled and strained, I couldn’t get out of the ditch, because it was too deep.
  
  
• Jesus Christ came by and saw me in my ditch.
  Without a word, he took off his white robe and got down in the muddy ditch with me.
  Then he lifted me up with his strong arms and got me out of the ditch.
  Thank God that Jesus did for me what I could not do for myself.
