"But where are your godsWe still create gods for ourselves today, and trust in them. We don't carve them from wood or stone with our own hands anymore, but they're no less gods. Today, we get them from elsewhere, but still center our lives around them.
Which you made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
In the time of your trouble;
For according to the number of your cities
Are your gods, O Judah.
To some, that god may be a job that gives us financial security. Or maybe it's a possession that we treasure above everything else. For me, it's probably something I don't have: a family to love and care for. And since that has been "denied me," I hold it against God, and want something else to fill the void.
