What or who is most important in your life? Maybe it's your spouse or significant other, career, money, hobbies or personal pleasures. Although there is nothing wrong with any of these people and things, they can become the center of your attention. Time and money spent on something that drains you spiritually is an idol.
Take a moment and reflect on this weekend. What did you do, where did you spend your money and what did you achieve? Was God or worship any part of your weekend? I know this isn't a pleasant blog, but you have to realize, God gave His all through Jesus Christ. He bore our sins to free us to live a life blessed and purposeful for Him. It's not a boring or restricted life, actually just the opposite. A personal, daily relationship with the Lord brings joy and blessings that last longer than any one person, dollar or object of your affection. All of those things will pass away one day and it will be simply you and God.
What will you have to say on the day in which you give an account for the time and money you spent as a child of God? If you come up short, and we all do (you can never do enough for God)....pray and ask God to sift your heart and weed out those "idol"s so His Spirit can fill the deepest void and give you life everlasting. Idols aside...make way for blessings. What are you willing to surrender today to draw closer to the Lord? Pray about it friend. God bless!!
