His spirit was stirred in him.

"Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry" (Acts 17:16 KJV). Let's not be ignorant. The judgment of God which will come to this world is very soon. The Apostle Paul came to a place that was filled with idols of all sorts. Upon seeing all of this idolatry in this city, it grieved Paul's spirit. There was a place in the city of Athens called Mars' Hill. Paul went there, and he could clearly see that the men of the city were guided by superstition and all kinds of Greek philosophies. These people of the city were worshiping and devoting their time to an altar which had an inscription that said, "to the Unknown God". What ignorance to worship nothing at all! This is very common in today's society. There are many altars in this world to gods of all sorts, but they are of no avail to anyone who worships them. The Lord is not some image of man's creativity as the Greek gods were, but He is a God that brought salvation to the whole world through the Cross, which opened a way for everyone to come unto Him. Does the world with all its' idols grieve your spirit as it did the Apostle Paul's? An idol may not be in a form of a statue, but it is something that takes the place of our Lord Jesus. Whether it be money, fame, sex, or drugs, just to mention a few, these can all become Idols in a person's life. Let's not be ignorant. God bless you. Amen
