Many of us do not realize it, but you have idols that come before God if you are not fully focused on Him and do not deliberately put Him first. He made the universe and have you all that you have. He deserves to be first in your life. Things like spending too much time on Facebook or watching TV or shopping non-stop can all be idols. If something distracts you from God, it is an idol. It's okay to do those things, just do them in smaller portions. Make sense? If you can do something, but keep it in the God perspective, then you are doing good. If it takes your focus away from God, then it is bad.
We don't get the same Joy and Peace from idols of the world that we do from God. Focusing and putting God first will satisfy you so much more than you can imagine, so much more than anything from the world. Then you will be totally walking with Him in the Light, shining it to others.
Check out this verse:
2 Samuel 22:29-31 (MSG)
Suddenly, God, your light floods my path,
God drives out the darkness.
I smash the bands of marjders,
I vault the high fences.
What a God! His road
Stretches straight and smooth.
Every God-Direction is road tested.
Everyone who runs toward him
Makes it.
We can accomplish so much more by putting God first.
