6/25/2008 - My Idolatry


And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed down to them. And they provoked the Lord to anger.

Judges 2:12

It seems innocent.
Entertainment.
or a joke.
Amusement or a thought
begins to poke
me in a direction
away from my devotion to God.

I live in a land
where idols erupt
and in my home
they can disrupt
my heart and the throne
of my life they can steal.

Simple idols
not grinning stone
or metal
will sit on my throne
Lazy self, greed, lies
all will become gods to me

I leave a lot
when a let these totems
control my heart
and I lose my motive
for godliness when
God is not my God

Abandonment
is not my plan
I return to the Master
and submit to His hand
so that these idols
may topple and those
around my see
Jesus my Savior
reigning, living, loving in me.
