Leviticus 26:1 ” Do not make idols or setup an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.”

Modern day idols can take the form of many things.  They may be people, possessions, locations or life-styles…anything that takes its place above God.  Our graven image may be  pride and self-importance.  Or it may be bowing down to our collection of belongings…those babbles, toys, and things we amass and hoard just to say we have them.  Anytime we put or trust and affections in anything other than God we’re headed down the wrong path.

Jeremiah 2:5 ” This is what the Lord says: ‘ What fault did your fathers find in Me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves.’ “

We become what’s important to us, ever influenced by what we devote  our time and money to. If it’s empty, futile, and meaningless things of the world…we’ll be left wanting  and ever searching for more.  But if it’s God…our search is over.
