Still Happening!
Good Morning! Acts 17:16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. Sorry about yesterday,but I was worshipping the idol of sleep. Yes! Sleep can be an idol! Because in my case, yesterday I chose it over doing Gods work. Back in Pauls day it was not hard to see the idols people were worshiping, cause they were all over the city. But today Satan, our enemy is a little more suttle with the idols he lures us with today.Today he uses such suttle things as wealth, fame, power, entertainers and yes, even athletes to become more important than God and doing his work. Yes I even know people that sleeping so much interferes with God working in their lives. And lets face it guys and even the gals these days. How many of us were glued to the TV yesterday so we could see who's going to the Super bowl. And Super bowl Sunday, that's an idol all in its self lol! But the main thing Satan does by giving us these idols is it interferes with Gods Spirit working in our lives and doing his work so that we miss the one job,the most important job that God gives us,and that is to reach out to that person.That person who does not believe. To reach out with the love of Christ and show them, as Paul says in In 1Thess 1:9 to help people, turn to God from idols, to serve the living and true God. With so many idols and distractions in life today that is satans main purpose, to keep us from serving God. So today let us take a little inventory of our lives and see what idols we have that could be hindering us from doing Gods work. Because just as God is the same before, today and always! So is Satan and the idols he wants us to follow. HABD!
