Ha ha so I have been reading a book called Empty Promises by: Pete Wilson and one of the major things we do as humans is create idols. Not just idols like buddah but things like work and achievements what do we need to make ourselves feel good and create a euphoria. What is crazy is that the sermons these past two weeks have been about idol's and not placing anything before God and that we are to not create idols or worship any other Gods. I mean it is more and more prevelent if we look at it at the fact that we are creating them without even knowing. So I was thinking about what do I have that is an idol and I thought of two things..... 1. Cell Phone and 2. Sports and working out... I do not go anywhere without my cell phone I feel almost lost when I forget it or I am seperated from it. When I workout or play sports I get such a euphoria going that I feel like I am on top of the world. But in all reality these things just control my attitude and my life. I will never be at the top of the world but I sure do think I am when I get my mind set on working out. I want to place God first in my life and not let my phone control my life. And to remind myself when I am exercising that its for me to feel healthier but also to take care of the life and body that God has given me.
What are you putting before God? What is your Idol?
