I was laying in bed one day, and this thought came out of the blue. America has A LOT of idols. Yup, that's right, I said idols. I bet a lot of you guys are thinking, "What? I haven't seen anyone worshiping a calf lately?" And yes, I doubt you have. But bowing down to an object isn't the only way to worship an idol.
If you could list the things that you use, think, or do, what would be at the top? If there was one thing that you just could not live without, what would it be? I am hoping it's God. There are times when people put things before God. Now everyone is familiar the Ten Commandments, one of them is "Thou shalt not put any gods BEFORE me." Did you read the before part? I hope so, I put it in bold! But there are times when we do put things before God. Now they may not be golden calves, or anything like that. BUT they are put before God. Wether it's a cell phone, or an i-pod, or money. It could be ANYTHING! It's scary to think about. So America does have idols, and sometimes we never even notice. Please note that I AM GUILTY of it too. We all have sometime or another. If you ever find yourself in that situation remember who should be first. Then I think you will know what's best.
