I know I already posted on this matter, but let me give you an example of what I believe is an idol. So I woke up one morning, reaching for my phone to silence my alarm. I admit that I spend a lot of time on my phone, however much of that time is work-related. But there’s plenty of screen time that isn’t work-related. And in the mornings after I silence my alarm, my usually routine before I even crawl out of bed is to check bank balances, check poal, check for messages from customers, etc. Well this particular morning a thought jumped into my head: this phone is your god. If that’s what you reach for first thing in the morning, and you spend more time on your phone (not work-related) than you do in the Word or in prayer, then that phone is your god. It is an idol. So that particular morning I silenced the alarm, broke my routine, and left my phone bedside. I was not even going to bring it downstairs with me. It was a Saturday so I didn’t need it right away for work, and instead I devoted that entire morning to God and reading my Bible, prayer, etc. Words were jumping off the page of that Bible at me like I had never experienced before. I felt that God was pouring out his spirit to me and making his word known to me (proverbs 1:23). It was the most productive day that I had in a very long time.
