I noticed it at a point when my kid's behaviors sapped my joy--how low had I sunk that my kids were my idols, but they were! God graciously draws us back to Himself, tho. Truly, our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked. Your post was an insightful caution.

And thank you ...Thank you for visiting my website. And thank you for your nice comments. Yes, all the pictures in my blog are from my camera. <br /><br />I enjoyed readng what you posted in "Idolatry Creeping In". Yes, whatever comes between me and God is my idol. It can be anything...time, material things, work, money,etc. And it's so easy to justify my actions. But if we would FIRST seek the kingdom of God AND His righteousness, then all these things will be added to us.<br /><br />God bless you.<br /><br />VictoriaEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12727265180126197298noreply@blogger.com
