“SUNK!”
The little girl was saying her bedtime
prayers. “God bless daddy. God bless mommy. God bless little sister. God
bless my puppy. And God, take good care of yourself, because if anything
happens to you, we are sunk!”
How right she was. Without God, we are sunk!
Paul waited in Athens for Silas and Timothy and disputed in the
synagogue with devout persons in the market daily, and with anyone he
had a chance to teach. Certain of the philosophers who liked to gather
at Mars Hill invited him to speak to them, that they might learn his new
doctrine. “For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent
their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new
thing.” (Acts 17:21).
As Paul spoke to the philosophers on Mars Hill, he said, “Ye men of
Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I
passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this
inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship,
him I declare I unto you” (Acts 17:22-23).
In this city filled with altars to pagan gods everywhere, they did not
know the true God, the Creator of all things, the God who does not dwell
in temples made with human hands. The God made of one blood all nations,
and governs our existence. “For in him we live, and move, and have our
being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his
offspring” (Acts 17:28).
They listened until he spoke of the resurrection, when some mocked, and
others said, “WE will hear thee again of this matter” (Acts 17:30). As
Paul departed, some few believed, but most of them rejected his message,
a message more readily received as he went on to Corinth. Think what the
philosophers of Athens missed! They had the chance to learn about the
one true God, but they threw it away. Sunk by their own ignorance, even
as they claimed to be wise!

God’s Word
Exodus 14:10-14
10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their
eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were
very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
11 Then they said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt,
have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so
dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?
12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, 'Let us
alone that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been
better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the
wilderness."
13 And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and
see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you
today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no
more forever.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."
