I have been challenged to have whole heart faith--to get rid of the idols in my life. For me the idols are diet soda and food--any food but especially chocolate--I think I need to eat it EVERY DAY! I plan the next meal before I have finished the one I am currently eating. In the morning I am already thinking about what snack I will have before I go to bed. The other idol in my life is shopping. I am a HUGE bargain shopper--just yesterday I bought a $70 pair of tennis shoes for $9! I love getting good deals but do I really need these things just because they are good deals?! I seriously am addicted to eating and shopping. I am an emotional eater and an emotional shopper.
The Lord brought these "idols" to my mind tonight while I was thinking to myself--"I don't really have any idols in my life"--yeah, right! I eat chocolate everyday and I shop almost every day. Thankfully I have a God who helps me out! Who says "Be still and KNOW that I am God." I don't have to constantly be eating or buying things to "feel better" because I have a God who calls me baby girl and wants to dance with me, He sings over me, He delights in my life. . I could go on and on! I don't need to turn to food or things! Thank you, Jesus that I can turn to you!
