Becoming Your Idol

Psalm 115:4-8
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6 They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7 They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8 Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

I've always like this description of idols and those who make them and trust in them. They are basically powerless. They are not God, they have nothing.

Do you have any idols in your life? What lies from the world have you bought into, that take your eyes off the true God and His true power? If you get caught up with these lies, you are basically left powerless, because trusting in them is like trusting in a man-made God. It has no substance. The only substance is in God almighty.

Take this time to search your life to see if you have been seduced by the world into believing that there is any kind of power in money, image, or prestige. Search your life to see if you seek comfort in any thing other that your Lord. Confess it to Him and then rely on the Lord for your comfort, security, and victories.
