1 John 5:21 (NKJV) Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
1 John 5:21 (NLT) Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.
When we think of idolatry, we may think of people worshipping statues of Thor, Ganesha, or Buddha, which is true, but idolatry is also anything we put above God.
With that information, we can see how our work, our children and their activities, or the pursuit of money can be our idol. There’s nothing wrong with work, our children, and increasing financially, but when these things consume our lives, we’ve made them idols. It’s our responsibility to keep ourselves away from anything that might take God’s place in our hearts.
Examine your life. Have you’ve been allowing anything to take the place of God? If so, remove that thing as a top priority and let God be first in your life.
