My Thoughts

What is idolatry?

Idolatry is lying at work so you don't get into trouble. It is stealing food to eat. It is cheating on a test at school.

Here's the connection with idolatry and your life. God is in charge of all life and as a believer you need to realize that. If you don't behave as though he is, you will bow to other god's in expectation they will provide what you need. When you lie at work about doing something wrong or you've failed to do something at all, you are leaving God and bowing to the god of pride. What should be done, is to keep God on the throne and under his command, don't lie. He is your provider and no other god will help you. If you fully trust in him He will provide a job for you even when you tell the truth, but you must tell the truth if you want to remain a child of God.

If you're in school and you decide to cheat, then you are also bowing to the god of pride. You want to look better than you are. If you accept who you are and remain a child of the true God then he will provide for your career and wherever your honest grades take you. If you create a disparity of your performance and you capabilities then you are just setting yourself up for failure when you get out of school. Let God provide for your future as you remain honest in your character, instead of bowing to any other gods.

Thank about that.

Love,
Dad
