What Idols Are you Worshipping?

 

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath.Exodus 20:4

 

When you think of an idol what comes to mind? A gold statue? A music celebrity like Taylor Swift? For an alcoholic it could be booze.Television addict?  For many it might be whatever consumes your life and what you live for. 

Ask yourself a serious question. Who or what are you worshipping or spending the most of your waking hours consumed with? Only you can be convicted of what that might be. 

Take inventory of your life and your heart. Do you crave the world more than you do things of Christ? You know what gets your focus most can be idolized. Take a break from news, social media, and turn your eyes upon Jesus. 

PRAYER: Father grant me the ability to back away from anything unhealthy that has a bigger place in my life than you do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
