Chinese New Year is upon us, and that means the local Spirit Houses in my neighborhood are getting extra attention. More decorations and foods are places at these shrines to keep the local spirits, ghosts, content. The local people believe if the spirits are happy, they won't bother them! The only ones that appear happier are the pigeons, who are enjoying the unexpected feast of fresh fruit and every other food!
Psalms 135:13
Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation.
For the Lord will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.
The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
They have ears but cannot hear,
and noses but cannot smell.
And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.
