Idols

How often do we hear the word "idol" and the fear of God doesn't overwhelm us?  Part of my study has led me to see what "idols" I have in my life.  The things that I have put in front of God are stupid, meaningless, and embarrassing.  I have put sleep before God.  SLEEP!!!!  I hate admitting it, but there have been many times that I have put sleep before my time alone with God.  I am embarrassed to say I would have rather slept than to get to know my savior and Father a bit better.  Time with him, so that he can show me where to go. Time with him, so that I can remember to trust in him. Sleep is only one of the many things I have placed before God.  What are you prioritizing and placing before God? Is it technology?  Money? Sex? Sleep? TV? Your spouse or children? We need to be careful what we are putting God to the back burner for.  When I am not reading in God's word, I see myself straying. It is so easy to do so. But I want to be bold for my God, my Lord. I don't want these small "idols" to be in the way of my worship of him. Do you?
