31 Days : Cut

31 Days: Cut

10/30/2016

This morning's sermon had to do with "little children, keep yourselves from idols".
When I saw the prompt for today, the message was brought to mind.
When we see, we need to figure out WHY we are sinning, and how that why will help point out the idols in our lives.

Idols such as'

I want others to like me
I don't want to stick out like sore thumb
I want to feel better about myself
I want to look better than so-and-so

These idols are all things that steal us away from God, so John wanted his readers to be on the alert against idols in their lives.

If you are on the alert to something, it is easier to CUT it out of your life.
We need do that you know.

When I put my studies in Ezekiel together with the sermon and I know how Satan wants to steal as many souls away from God as he can... it makes it more imperative to me that folks cut out the idolatry. For folks to stop looking to themselves, but see God more clearly. As the more clearly we see God the more clearly see how far from ideal we are in our relationship with him, and it causes us to strive to more like him.

Ouch! Got my toes there. I hate standing out and will often do things to avoid it. Thank you for pointing that out. Growth can only occur when we recognize where change needs to happen and this is not something that I have focused on as being something Satan can use. Thank you.

It's a hard one Lori, as so many things aren't bad right? For instance I LOVE food...but when I get stressed...I turn to food and I shouldn't. I should turn to God and his ways. Just a little thing that becomes so big when it shouldn't.
