Mon // Surrender :: Idols

Title: We all have them


Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. – Jonah 2:8


We all have them, many I don’t realize I have.  As men we must know, anything that prevents our focus from being on God as #1. Often for me, things like my job is an Idol as I focus hours and hours on my career and then the leftover tired me goes to God. I work hard at bringing God as a priority above my favorite idol my cabin, as I sit and write these blogs from the cabin. God is not saying we can’t have things we just need to be disciplined enough to ensure they are all secondary to HIM and his work for us. 

 Real Men remove Idols from God’s focus
