Tripping Over Our Own Feet

 

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

                 Psalm 106. 36

(Every day we make choices

    for who or what we

           will serve today.

We all worship.

We were wired to worship,

   because we know deeply

   that there is something more.

If we do not worship God,

a lesser god takes

           His rightful place.

And the journey nor the outcome

         is never the same.

An idol

         of any shape, size,

         or disguise

    always ensnares,

promises the world,

    and then trips us up.)

O LORD,

We seek You this day.

Guide us not just

      on our paths today,

   but to run straight to You.

Align our hearts with Yours,

   that we may be filled

          with Your grace and love,

   equipped to serve You

   and love others.

And that we would fulfill

    Your purposes in this situation

    for Your ultimate glory.

Please help us to not be distracted

    by glittery promises

    of the adversary,

but to be faithful to You

   in all we do today.
