I read a chapter out of 2 Kings today. It was a hard chapter for me to read, because I didn't understand a lot of it, and the names were really hard to pronounce. But I did get something out of it anyways. I try and read books of scripture that I normally don't think to read every so often, and today it was out of 2nd Kings.
Verses 18-19 were what stood out to me and actually made sense. It talks about how the people of Assyria had their gods destroyed, and how those "gods" were just workings of man, not the true and living God that we worship. And that got me thinking again, how easily it is to sometimes worship other things of man, besides Heavenly Father. It's not just statues that people worship these days. It's anything that keeps us from doing our duty of serving one another and our Heavenly Father. TV, internet, sports, crafts, whatever. If we put those before Heavenly Father, we are just the same as the people of Assyria. Worshipping that of man rather than that of God.
Reading verses like that are helping me put back into perspective what is most important in my life right now, and of course I say Heavenly Father and the church. But do I always act that way? It's helping me look at my life and see what I can adjust to be a better daughter of God.
