November 1, 2011 – Baruch 6:45 - 6:72

That last section appears to say that it is better for those that believe in no God than those that believe and worship idols.

I think it says a lot about the human nature of knowing there is a greater power over us that from early on people felt they needed to worship something. Although it is misguided, choosing to worship the idols is just a misguided attempt to fill that gap that could only be filled by God. That is the case for many of the things we fill our lives with now. We seek to fill this inherent need or hole in our lives with money, power, physical love, drugs, work, materials, when it is meant to be filled by God. Nothing will fill it other than God and filling it with other things only limits the room God has to work in our lives.
