So the king consulted and made two golden calves and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought up from the land of Egypt.” 1Kings12:28
Idolatry of the heart infects the mind and soul. What is the thing that you hold highest above Jesus? What is the project, the idea or the person that you hold above our Lord?
Every one of us reaches the point in their life where this subject has to be addressed with an open heart if ever we are to be free. God offers you a light yoke and asks that you place your heavy burden on Him. But what if your burden and your load is your idol? What if that is the one thing that you do not want to give up. That little thing or big thing in your life that means more to you than following the Lord.
Only you and the Lord can tell what it is. No one else can see in the shadow of your heart. When we surrender all, when we give all to the Lord, He takes it and returns it as a gift honored and kept in the hollow of His Holy Hands.
God is faithful! God is good! Bless the Lord!
