Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Colossians 3:5
When I ask do you have idols I don’t mean a pagan statue necessarily but something you worship more than God? Anything you put before God becomes an idol. Putting to death things of our earthly nature are things mentioned in the verse today and all these things separate you from being close to God.
So what is it maybe in your life? Maybe not something horrible, but even loving something like magazines more than your Bible?? Leisure activities on Sunday instead of being in worship? Television which is idolized in the center of most American living rooms? Not meaning to step on toes or send you on a guilt trip only trying to get you to think.
Now go make sure God is first place, for sure.
PRAYER: Help me Lord be aware of anything in my life that takes more precedence in my life than you do so I do not end up idolizing it. Convict hearts of the need to put you first and to abolish those habits that draw people away from you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
