idols

ok i was readign a post on nat barnes blog and it made me think. ok well i just got home from the TEAM Confrence at APU, which is a leadership camp for juniors and seniors. Nathan and MIke were two of the guys who spoke regularly the past week and i think very highly of both of them. now i relized while reading his blog that i had spent more of my enery praising if you will them for their knowledge and insight than i was praising God for the insight he spoke through them. if Nathan reads this sorry for taking your subject but it hit me hard.

i think today people get so waped up in worldly things that they forget that God created all those things that they love so much. it is writen in the bible "thou shall have no Gods befor me" but see i think we all need to realize one thing that has been said so many times that its not just gods or people but anything that we hold hight than God. in my case i was holding speakers higher than god as if they gained their knowledge on their own accord when God gave them the breath to speak.

material things toys computers games electronics all sorts of things can hinder your walk with Christ just by taking time away from him and taking his Glory and giving credit to sombody else. when you listen to a song you like you give credit to the writer who put is pencil to the paper and wrote it and then performed, right? but think about this nomater what he wrote about God created it, Everything you see touch feel or experience God created it. theirfor Gods glory is shown in everything you see. i believe that we owe our wonderful God a whole mess of credit for everything that we have and ever will have

Father, please help us to give you credite in everything for you created everything. Lord help me to see you in all i have and all i am for you are there. lord i loe you and help me to be more like you. in my great saviors name
amen
