Idolatry
You know, it is so easy to make people and things into idols. You don't have to set up physical shrines to them, but you CAN do so mentally. Shrines are a place where the spiritual focus is to be directed toward. A shrine for God belongs in the heart. And He is the only One who should occupy that sacred space. He is the only one to whom our energy should be focused. Not on a single thing or person. Not on a job or loved one. Not on an activity or pursuit. If we long to have certain spiritual emptiness filled by something temporal, we will always be disappointed. Furthermore, God will only frustrate those efforts of those He loves. We were bought with a price. And now we belong to Him. He has placed His seal on our hearts. We have no need to wander from our First Love; we have no need to divert our attention away from our heart-shrine.Labels: this is me before
