I am once again shocked at the callousness of my heart. During my prayer time this morning God was merciful enough to once again reveal to me in a new way, the idols I bow down to daily. He did it with a simple question. Would you be more upset if your internet went down for three days or if you left your Bible at church and could not read it for three days? The answer reveals what I have more affection for. The truth is, being without the internet would bother and has bothered me more. I can remember at times being so angry as to want to shout profanities because my access to the internet was not functioning. Yet I can go days without reading my Bible and sometimes not even realize it. This reveals what I love more. I check email and facebook all day long but rarely remember what I read in God's word that morning. I have "exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things." (Rom 1:23) I have "exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served creature rather than Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen" (Rom 1:25) I recently found myself more aghast at the Braves cutting a pitcher than at the sin and idolatry I have allowed and desired in the life that God has given me. Where is my love for Christ? Tied up in the internet and sports and a great many other trivial things. "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other." Matthew 6:24
