How we defeat the idols in our lives

One more thing and then I'm seriously going to do my homework.

I wrote a novel of a post about one of the idols in my life and unfortunately I have more to come, because I wish that boys were the only idol in my life, but they're not.

But one thing that I've been thinking about is how we truly get rid of them. There are little things that you can do to deal with one, but like I've seen, defeating idols is like playing a game of whack-a-mole. As soon as you get one down, another one pops up. So what can we do to fight them off in general?

I think that the only thing to really do is see and know God rightly and truly be in love with Jesus.

And part of this is spending time with him every single day.

Think about it. If you have a friend that you only talk to when you need something or when your life sucks, what kind of relationship are you going to have? Unfortunately, this is the way that a lot of us treat God. We call Him up when we need something and ignore Him the rest of the time.

I don't want to be like that. The creator of the universe desires to know me and I'm going to tell him that I'm too busy?? That my life and classes are more important than him?? How messed up is that? Spending time with God daily should be something that I love doing and want to do, but for me, sometimes I just don't. I stay up too late working or worse, watching tv, and so I don't want to get up early to spend time with him.

So this week, I'm going to spend time with God. I'm going to go to bed early so that I can get up early and really dig into his word and spend time with him before my day begins.

And I want you guys to hold me to this.
