Television = idol

Aiya..I'm easily distracted by some k-drama my mom is watching right now. The story is so dumb but I'm captivated by the television right now. So bad...

This reminds me of something that was said at winter camp in gr.11. The television in our American/British/Canadian/etc.. house hold is seen as an idol in the eyes of Christians that don't own a television set. We spend so much time infront of that thing instead of with our family. Sometimes it isn't even our television set, it is our laptop or computer. These household objects that we place before God are seen as everyday household objects. Gosh and this electronic is so tempting to sit infront of and not shut down.

Sometimes we don't see what we place as an idol until someone smashes your face with a frying pan which has a picture of the idol on it. Soon after, you feel pain 'cuz you know you've been hiding yourself from God.

Prayer: God, show us what we place as idols in our lives and deliver us from temptation so that we could fully concentrate on You, alone.
