Jeremiah 2:28

But where are your gods that you made for yourself? 
Let them arise, if they can save you, in your time of trouble; for as many as your cities are your gods, O Judah.     Jeremiah 2:28

How it must grieve the heart of the Father to see us settling for worthless, useless, temporal gods.  We do not have to settle.  The Father offers us truth, life, and love.  Nothing temporary, artificial, tenuous, or tainted. The bandaids that the world's gods offer, do not heal, or save, and only cause more hurt.
