Thought of the day

Isaiah 30:20-22
God speaks - let us listen. God wants to teach us, guide us, direct us, and bless us. Listen for his voice - he will show you the way.

A thought about idols. What are the idols in our lives

Materialism - the stuff of this world

Comparrison - how do I measure up to others

Fitting in - to be accepted

Here's the thing: I think we spend so much time and focus on "fitting in" and "being accepted" that they have become the idols of our world.

Therefore - we worship at the "temple" of the materialist god - the shopping centre - and spend our lives on what does not nourish the soul.

We chase after relationships with people that will never fulfil our desire for acceptance because God is where we find acceptance.
