Idols Must Fall

Idols must fall.

Celebrities intrigue us, don’t they? We entertain ourselves by checking in on the latest tea, while checking out from our own reality.

We put people on pedestals, idolizing what they say, what they wear, what they do, and what they share, and yet, while we continually lift them up, they inevitably let us down. It’s a game we play, watching their life, while neglecting our own.

But the idols must fall, before they suck the life out of us all.

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭3‬, ‭ESV‬‬)

When our eyes are on others and not on Him, our perspective is skewed, our objective misconstrued, and quite honestly, we get a little confused.

When our gazed is fixed on lesser things that merely entertain us, we miss the greater, life giving things that can actually sustain us.

The enemy deals out distractions by way of idol worship on a daily basis, and instead of having the discernment to overcome it, we find ourselves discontent because fantasy is not reality, and celebrity status doesn’t transfer to eternity.

Yes, the idols must fall, because only God deserves our awe.

“Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.” (1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬, NLT‬‬)

So, that thing you’ve given too much space (in your day, in your head, and in your heart), it’s time to put it in its proper place.

Knock it down before it lets you down.

Let it fall and let Christ be your all in all.

Idols must fall.
