Idols within

Idols within

A Poem by W R Stowe

                                                                        Idols Within
                                                  Honey, aren't you going to Church
                                                          No, I'm tired I want to sleep
                                                   Isn't God more important than that.
                                                           Does that make sleep an idol?
                                                  Hey dad aren't you going to Church?
                                                           No son there's a ball game on.
                                                  But dad isn't God more important than that?
                                                           I really want to watch the game.
                                                  Oops I forgot to pray because I was more interested my phone.
                                                           Are these examples considered as idols?
                                                   Today's technology has created so many idols within our lives.
                                                            Oh, darling I put your number one in my life.
                                                    Hold on I have to check my Facebook before I can go to Church.
                                                             Gee some more examples of idols.
                                                    I'm not saying that technology is an idol,
                                                               only when we place it in front of God.
                                                    The word of God says He is jealous God and He doesn't want us to put anything before Him.
                                                                I could go on but you catch the drift, God first in all things.
