“An idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of
the hand.” –A.W. Tozer
After reading about Old Testament idolatry this morning I
said to myself: “Why would the Israelites put a wooden statue before the God
who rescued them time after time?” I then realized that we should ask ourselves
a harder question: “What idols am I putting before God?” I pray that we ask God
to search our hearts and shine His light on anything—a relationship, career or
maybe a hobby—that we are spending more time on and giving more attention to.
I am
the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to
idols (Isa 42:8, NIV).
