True believers proclaim and confess their unswerving fear, love and trust in the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. True believers can mock idols as lifeless and powerless. Idols are made with human hands and designed by human minds, while the true God reigns in heaven and He Himself made those human hands and minds.
Unbelievers, false believers and idol worshippers, in turn, mock the true believers, saying, “Where now is their God?” They will set up anything else as something to trust in and look to for good (usually it is Self). This “something else” is a rival, or enemy, to the true God; so true believers are intolerant of anything else as their Help and Shield; He is mindful of us and He will bless us. The true God, known only through Jesus the Messiah, has crushed all false gods and idols at the Cross and the Tomb.
We survive in an alien and hostile environment; we rise above life’s problems on God-given songs of prayer and faith. A real relationship with God resists rival human ideologies and creates a hope so certain that it’s prospect already praises the Only God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
