"I Believe In GOD, Though I Do Not See HIM."

"Not to us, O YAHWEH, not to us,

but to YOUR name be the glory;

for the sake of your love and faithfulness.

Why should the pagans say,

'Where is your GOD?'

There, in heaven, is our GOD;

whatever HE wishes, HE does.

Not so, the hand-made idols,

crafted in silver in gold.

They have mouths that cannot speak,

eyes that cannot see,

ears that cannot hear,

noses that cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk;

neither can they make a sound in their throat.

Their makers will be like them;

so will all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust in YAHWEH;

HE is your help and your shield!"

-Psalm 115:1-9

(This is a psalm of trust.  We must constantly denounce the idols of ordinary people, as well as the idols of those who pretend to be free of every prejudice.

"I believe in GOD, though I do not see HIM," a Jewish man wrote in the ghetto of Warsaw.  In times that are hostile to faith, it is good for us to pray with this psalm.)
