Grace for your spirit
Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. Colossians 3:5
Most of us think of an idol as a figure people build to worship, much like a totem pole. In fact, anything or anybody we place between us and God becomes our idol. When we desire immorality, impurity, and the like, they become our god. Even Abraham would not withhold his only son. Had he chose Isaac over God, his son would have been an idol instead of a blessing. The devil will always tell us that our pleasures are better than God. Believing that will cause the wrath of God to come upon us. May we never trade God for the passing pleasure of this world.
