22: Bottom Line

Quote
Read this verse in context
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Psalm 135:15-18New International Version
 

The gods we worship write their names on our faces; be sure of that. And a man will worship something — have no doubts about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart — but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.

 

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.
Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
