Reading the Bible Or Serving An Idol
Reading the Bible? Or Serving An Idol?
The other day I prayed and
read my Bible.
But soon afterward…
I brought out my “idol.”
This “idol” is something
I’ve tried to hide.
I can’t seem to let go of it.
I’ve too much “pride.”
This thing has brought “pleasure”
for a time.
But now has effected what’s
in my mind!
My prayer life isn’t
what it used to be.
I can’t “shake it.” It has a “hold” of me!
This “idol” has taken up
residence in my life.
I’ve lost interest in my family
and wife!
It’s had an impact on what I’ve
said and thought.
I think; “what kind of lie
have I really bought?”
Only Jesus can give me
the satisfaction I seek!
I know that he is with me
each day of the week!
I decided to get rid of my “idol”
and throw it away!
I now enjoy God’s peace
in my life every day!
God has restored my trust
and faityh in him!
He’s brought restoration to my life
and peace within!
