Cast Down Idols

idols come in all shapes and sizes
special events, sports, church ministry
reading, fishing, money, dreams
although no one or nothing can or will
ever take the place of God
idolatry occurs when a person
devalues or de-prioritizes God
and up-grades something else
to the number one spot of life
results in idol worship.

Sure, we don't worship stone idols today
but no one likes to miss their
favorite tv show or favorite ball game
when a heart desires something else
in place of God
that "something else" is an idol
no matter what it is
and must be dealt with.
be

God is God.
No one or no thing can take God's place
but when we allow something to be
before God in life,
then we follow the path of idols.
the path of the children of Israel.
Idolatry.

Allow God to reign.
Worship Him as Lord.
He is the King of Kings
and deserves all honor and praise.
Idols can not compare to who God is.
