Our Christian journey is a process of God breaking our idols…one by one.

In the 40th Chapter of Isaiah, the prophet is confronting God’s people for being blinded by their idols and not being able to see God anymore. He implores them to “Look up” and see God and not at their guilty pleasures. When we say Yes to Him, God will start using His holy sledgehammer to demolish anything that as Paul describes in Galatians 5:19-20 are the obvious acts of the sinful nature. Which to even a brand new baby Christian would be apparent and condemned. But Paul goes on to add sins that we could easily justify, rationalize, or just plain choose to ignore. These are called unrestrained indulgences of pleasure seeking, but they’re still idols that are standing in the way between God and us and trust me, He will not relent until they’re smashed to smithereens.
