Idolatry

Idolatry
Idolatry is much more prominent today than we usually think. Any thing, or any one, that we look to constantly for our “help” or strength, or encouragement, we make them an idol. Don’t we see that God wants to be our joy; our sustenance; our hope and stay; our protector; our EVERYTHING? These (as well as much, much more) are the very things we ought to be looking to our God for! These dependent issues are His glory! We rob Him of His glory whenever we depend on mans means, whether it be welfare, or self-help groups, or unions, or whatever! Any organization that we look to, to keep us secure in any way, to comfort us, or to give us “peace of mind” becomes an idol, we rob God of the joy of being these things unto us!
