Keep away from idols

Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,

'What good is an idol carved by man,
or a cast image that deceives you?
How foolish to trust in your own creation—
a god that can't even talk!'
— Habakkuk 2:18 NLT

Idolatry may seem like a sin that modern people need not fear. But idolatry is not just bowing down to idols; it is trusting in what one has made, and therefore, in one's own power as creator and sustainer.

If we say we worship God but put our trust in self, relationships, bank accounts, homes, businesses, and organizations, then we are idolaters. Do you trust God more than you trust what your hands have made?

Heavenly Father, remove from me the idols that I have placed above you in my heart. Lord, cleanse the temple of my heart.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
Lord Jesus loves you!
