“About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way. For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen. These he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭19:23-26‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Demetrius says, “Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, saying that gods made with hands are not gods.” Its tempting to make wealth a god. Here Demetrius was making idols to make wealth, yet how many of us try to worship God and wealth? Are we more concerned if we are low on spirit or low on cash? Does our job provide or God? Please pray that we and our friends know we can never worship both and God must be first. Please pray for the people of our country to put God first.
