All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!
Psalm 97:7
Here is an acrostic to help me have perspective on the idols my heart will crave:
S - Senseless idolatry abandons my sensible salvation in my Savior.
H - Harm comes to my heart. Hurt comes to my soul when I worship what is not God.
A - Abandoning God for idols is an apostasy sure to be punished.
M - Men make idols of many things. My heart too is tempted to worship many things.
E - Every idol ends in disillusionment and destruction. All idols are worthless.
B - Building idols is a waste of time, energy, and treasure.
O - Over all idols is the supremacy of Christ. He will bring them down.
A - Authority is given to One alone! Jesus Christ is Lord!
S - Slavery to sin is what false worship will demand of me. It is never a good experience to worship what is false.
T - Triumph belongs only to Jesus. All things bow to Him… especially my idols!
