Idols Are Useless

Hi, I'm Johnny Erickson Tata, and when you're bored, you can take it to God, or you can switch on your favorites playlist.

When you're depressed, you can run to the Lord, or you can run to the refrigerator.

When you're working, you can ask Jesus for His guidance, or become frantic about deadlines.

When you're between flights at the airport, you can spend a few minutes in prayer, or get absorbed on Facebook.

All of us by nature are worshipers. The question is, do we worship God, or the idols of our preference?

We're either doing one or the other. Eventually, however, we will find out that idols are utterly useless when we're facing the major issues of life.

In 1 John 5, we're told, dear children, keep yourselves from idols. Simple and to the point.

So today, let go of those idols. Stop reaching for them. Instead, grab hold of God's grace and comfort.
