Idols

Went over to my dad's house again. He took me to see his prized possessions. Idols. So many idols. Cabinets and cabinets of them. They were items that he collected for years. Teapots, crystals, tea leaves, statues of gods.

My hands were itching all over. I want to tear all of them down. I wanted to push the cabinets and make all the idols fall and smash on the floor.

But obviously I didn't.

Now as I reflect how I angry I felt when I saw all the idols, I remember. Hey. Idols arent just physical items. Idols mean placing something -anything above God. Which includes my studies, work, even my family.

Wow, how could I judge my dad for having idols when I have idols in my life too - studies, work, family.

Romans 2:23 - You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonour God?

Matthew 7:3 - Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

How can I judge when I myself fall in this area.

Sorry God. :(
