Worship Truly

Reflection 

Paul speaks to the people of Athens about their altar dedicated to “the unknown God.” He saw a world filled with idols and false gods but used that moment to introduce them to the one true God. Like Athens, our world today is full of people worshiping “unknown gods” and following things that cannot satisfy. Paul boldly proclaimed Jesus to a culture searching for meaning, and we’re called to do the same—sharing the truth of who God is with those who don’t yet know Him.

Prayer

Today we pray for those who don’t know you, yet who have some form of spiritual awareness. Lord, we pray that they would see you through Jesus. Help people to realize that the many altars and idols they are bowing down to are false. May people come to worship you today, the one true God.

ACTS 17:22-23

22 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
