This passage reminds us of sterility idols which, despite their appearance, cannot offer
comfort ni rescue . In our quest for
faith , we must turn to living , which hears our cries and meets our needs. As it is written in
Psalm 34:18 , "The Lord is close to those who have a broken heart". Let us not let our confidence rest on lifeless things, but let's place it in the one who is our real refuge, as emphasizes
Isaiah 41:10 .
