who or what are you idolizing today?

An idol is anyone or anything that is more important to us than God. It could be our spouse, our grandkids, our job or possibly our own safety.


Colossians 3:5 - "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry."


Some may think of idols as a statue or something you are praying to, but in reality, an idol can be anything or anyone that you put before God.  


My grandkids are the loves of my life, and I would do anything for either one of them, but I have to be careful not to put them before God.  I've learned and listened to God enough to know that if I put Him first in my life, then everything else comes together (in His Will and timing).


We all need to put away the things in our lives that are hindering us with a closer righteous walk with God.


God is my idol.  I cherish and love Him every day of my life.  After all, He made me and I'm His.
