If I didn’t know any better I’d say God was trying to pound a point home to me.  🙂  The devotion today is on worship. My sermon today is on worship.

The question is not whether I will worship, but rather what I will worship-my glorious Creator or something He created.

BAM!! I have a worship problem. I know it. I don’t worship Jo. I don’t worship the girls or my family. I don’t worship my bike (although at times I come close). I don’t worship the house, or my truck, or going to the Y, or my body (it is deteriorating), my job (although that is sometimes border line), or things. My biggest problem is me. I worship ME. Or as Tripp calls it: the idol of self.

I’d really like to believe I’m beyond that…but I’m not. I’d really like to believe I have that problem solved…but I don’t. I’d really like to believe that struggle is in my past…but it’s not. I’d really like to believe I have that surrendered…but I haven’t. Again and again I find myself going to other idols, starting with myself. My way. My rights. My rules.

“Father, the struggle is real. The struggle is daily. The struggle is never-ending. Help me in that battle for supremacy to yield my way, my rights, and my rules to You. Be the object of my worship.”
