Once
again idolatry is presented as a great stumbling block to the people of the
Lord. This is something that we cannot
dismiss in our day – the instinct for idolatry (and Satan’s use of the
technique) is not something that disappeared at some point in our past
history. We still have the pull of
idolatry in our lives today, but now we call it sports, or video games, or
youth, or beauty, or any number of other things.
Essentially
anything that we put before the Lord (even good things, such as family or the
Church) becomes an idol that we worship instead of the living God. Other things in life are given to us, to help
us or for our enjoyment, but we cannot ever allow any of them to supersede our
determination to follow the Lord.
