The Idols Of The Heart

The idols of the heart are those things we place above God in our lives, often without even realising it. These can be ambitions, relationships, or material possessions that distract us from committing to God. Ezekiel 14:3 (NASB) warns, "Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their wrongdoing.”

When we surrender these idols to God, asking Him to realign our hearts with His will, we experience true fulfilment. We put God first and allow Him to shape our desires and choices. Removing idols allows for more profound spiritual growth and intimate relationships with Him.

By examining our hearts regularly through deep prayer, we can stay vigilant against anything that seeks to replace God. With His help, we can keep our focus on what truly matters: finding peace and purpose in Him alone.
