A thought for today was brought up in the church sermon at The Crossing today. The pastor referenced to the oil leak/spill in the Gulf and said that just as it is devastating lives; so are our own "idols" of the heart. How many of us have things (careers, money, success, power, vanity, ect.) that we are so preoccupied with that we put a greater importance on them than God? When this happens, over time it can lead to devastation in our lives. Sometimes God will take these things from us when they become unbalanced in our lives. Or at times God will not give us what we ask for because he knows they will lead to our destruction. There are many different kinds of idols, everything ranging from obsession with money to pleasing others. We each have our own idol(s) and we need to be aware.
