Unique idols
I love how God has designed each of us so uniquely. Psalm 139 tells all about God creating us and how fearfully and wonderfully made we are. I love that. It helps me realize how much he loves us each individually and has such a perfect plan for every single person. However, being unique from every other person makes it so there's no cookie cutter way to deal with situations. We have the bible which is the ultimate guide to living, but I think its still really hard to know how to deal with certain things when we're all so different.
I have been really challenged recently with what I have idolized in my life. We are to have no other gods before our God. He is not only supposed to be the most importan part of our life, He is supposed to be in and throughout every other part of our lives as well. I've realized that part of us all being unique is that we all have different things that we constantly put in front of God. It boggles my mind that the same thing keeps creeping in front of God in my life. I really take heart in knowing what it says in 1 Corinthians 10:13: "No tempation has overtaken you except what is common to man. God is faithful and will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able. And with the tempation he will always provide a way out so that you will be able to bare it." So though I may continue to struggle with what continues to creep in front of God in my life, He always provides a way to get out of whatever that is. I just have to make sure I go that way out he is creating. He knows I have the strength to do it,.. I just have to do it.
So whatever it is that is your unique idol, God has provided a way to get rid of that and keep him #1 over all of your life. Know that as hard as it is to clean up your life and get rid of the things that distract us from God, He has a plan and the only way His plan can be perfect is if He is ruling over every aspect of your life.
