On Idolatry and Worship

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. – psalm 55:2

It’s unbelievable to think how quickly we can forget God and depend on things. You can start off the day recognizing that God is the creator, the potter, the author and end the day, loving your car for taking you somewhere, your money for getting you the stuff that you want, or your significant other for listening to your long winded stories while forgetting about the greatness and grandeur of God.
Don’t get me wrong, all the above things are good. The problem comes when you begin to depend on them in blind faith and you take your eyes off of God. As humans we are created as worshippers and so its easy for us to fix our gaze on the first thing to fill a need in our lives. We are quick to take our eyes off of the only one that fills all the needs of our life. Cars break down, money fades away and significant others fail you. But the one that says, “cast all your anxieties on me…” That one will not fail us. He is waiting for us to depend on Him and only Him, regardless of the outcome! God is awesome!
On January 1st my Car broke down and I was told the repair might be exceedingly expensive to the point of not being able to pay. Whenever my car breaks down I get really worried since its an SUV and has had many expensive problems before. My soul began to panic. But then I prayed and I know God heard my plea and allowed it to be considerably cheaper than originally quoted. I worship God for His faithfulness!
