On Monday 21Aug2017, a solar eclipse occurred. While this was a cool experience, I was totally amazed at some of the people and how they reacted.
A lot of people cried, one said that she felt at one with the universe, and the reporter kept asking people how they felt. While I know this is probably a bit uncalled for, I wish she would have asked me. I would have told her that seeing the solar eclipse at almost or complete totality was pretty cool, but that is it. If she is looking for something more than that, maybe she should talk to all the Millennial’s as they are way more sensitive to this type of event. Of course this is not true for all Millennial’s, there were some that basically looked at the report like she was nuts and gave her responses that she did not like.
Despite the coolness of this event, there is a major concern here. People were basically putting God aside and worshiping the passing of the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. If you think I am kidding, go take a look at the video footage.
Deuteronomy 5:7 New International Version (NIV)
7 “You shall have no other gods before me.
While the solar eclipse is just one example of idolatry, there are many others. The most common is money.
Are you having problems with idolatry? I know I do from time to time, but I also know most of us have this issue occasionally. If you are, I suggest you pray and ask God for forgiveness and help. He will help if you really want it.
