Isaiah’s
description of the people with silver, gold, no ends to their treasures, and no
end to their idols is one that should concern us. Even the poorest among us in this country live
better than the kings and queens of a few centuries ago. We have gold, silver, and no end to our
treasures. And yet, we also have no end
to our idols. The problem for us, of
course, is that our gold, silver, and treasures become our idols. Thus at the very time we multiply those things
that we want, we fill our lives with those wants to the point where they
displace our needs and bring us misery.
