S – For as I was passing through and observing the objects of your worship, I even found an altar on which was inscribed, ‘To an Unknown God.’ Therefore, what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.

Acts 17:23 CSB

O – “Ignorance” – agnŏĕō, not to know (through lack of information or intelligence); by impl. to ignore (through disinclination)

The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words.

Commentary:  The Athenians, who feared they might overlook venerating some deity they did not know about, dedicated an altar to an unknown god. When Paul referred to this, he did not emphasize the altar but their ignorance of the true God.

“Acts,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Hard to imagine someone worshipping something they did not know, but they didn’t want to miss out.  Fear will drive people to do things that don’t make sense. In doing so they ignore the true God.  This is true in culture today.  Fear drives people who don’t want to “miss out.” They “idolize” things they do not know or have no personal relationship with in their life.  And God, who wants a personal relationship with them, stands at the door knocking.

R – Lord, I pray for people who don’t know you because their focus is on other things.  Help me to be a light to shine that you desire relationship with them and you are the true God and they can have peace.
