Idol Factories

anything that takes my eyes off god...everything that takes my eyes off god. sure i get distracted, sometimes a little too easily, but maybe i need to be distracted sometimes. to be constantly focused on god isnt really our purpose. but it is. if god is our only focus or primary focus that would be good. wouldnt it? if i didnt have things that "distracted me" my life would not be in the best shape. work would lack, recreation would lack, and social parts of life would lack. as these are al things god wants and encourages us to have in our lives. but they are distractions. they turn my attention away from god. that is bad. but there is a balance. a proper way to live life and walk purposefully. god is worshipped through our lives if we are living right. so distractions are only those blatant sins. when i pirposefully walk away from god. when i purpose to serve something else. i am responsable. i am what eclipses my worship to god. when i choose to live to serve myself first. and i know when these times are. hopefully they are as few as i like to think they are. i do fight against them, but why? i need to find victory so that god will be worshipped by that part of my life, not so i would have freedom.
lord god, god of earth. god of me. i want my life to worship you. i want to worship you. let me not erect idols to worship because im too lazy to do it right. these idols that do stand help me to destroy them. the idol of irresponsability with games. when i choose to continue with the attitude of i dont want to stop and i can do that other stuff later. the idol of my bank account and being too concerned with its well being. god help my to worship you and you only.
