I AM NOT AN IDOLIZER
We need to remember that an idol is anything or anyone that is taking God’s place in our lives. Therefore, there are idols made of different material, for instance:
– Flesh and blood, when someone idolizes their boyfriend dedicating more time to them than God.
– Paper, when someone loves and serves money, which is made of paper more than God.
– Metal, when someone cares more for their motorcycle or car rather than their relationship with God.
Nowadays, people idolize their possessions, people, philosophies, artists, their girlfriends, or their motorcycle and they’re not even aware of it. Some are living with the sole purpose to become famous, obtain power or money. There are others who only dedicate themselves to accumulating more and more money, and they don’t know when enough is enough. They’re obsessed with money, and they’re always asking “Is there any more?”. People idolize the things they dedicate the most effort, strength and time toward without realizing it’s all only temporary.
Many people waste their life seeking fame, power and wealth, thinking that this will bring them peace and security, but the Bible has something to say about this:
We cannot allow anything nor anyone to become more important than God in our hearts, or else we will become idolizers. Begin to treasure your relationship with God above other things, and then you will have eternal security and peace.
Think about it:
Can you think of something or someone in your life that could be taking God’s place in your heart?
How can you better your relationship with God today?
