“True
worship is to be so personally and hopelessly in love with God, that the idea
of a transfer of affection never even remotely exists.” – A. W. Tozer
Idolatry is common and
rampant in our society. To spend all of our days worshiping the unseen God is
dismissed as foolish and short-sighted. To stand amazed before the omnipotent
God is considered ignorant and unenlightened. Some in our culture cannot
worship God because they are too busy trying to explain away the notion of the
one true God.
Some want to believe
(and do believe) that there is god in all of us, so that we are justified in
worshiping ourselves. Others believe that everyone who believes in a god is
worshiping the same god in different ways. Still others believe that there is
no god at all and worship science, reason, and logic. It has been said that
everyone will worship something. Even agnostics worship their complacency.
Make no mistake; there
is one true God. If you love anything or anyone more than Him, you are practicing
idolatry. When you come to know God for yourself, you can’t ever go back to the
emptiness of your soul without Him. Chasing whatever this world has to offer
cannot fill the void of being incomplete. No amount of money, friends, or
possessions can give you the kind of peace and eternal security that loving the
Great I Am provides.
