“Obsession”
What
are your obsessions? Do you have
any? Some women are obsessed with
shoes or hand bags. Kids get
obsessed with computers and video games. Men
get obsessed with their cars or sports. The
list could go on and on and some of those things are ok as long as they don’t
take away from God because then all that would be idolatry and we know that is
sin and leads to death spiritually and sometimes physically.
I know in the Old Testament times idolatry amongst the Israelites was
paid with their very lives. Actually
there is only one obsession I can think of that is healthy and that is an
obsession with Jesus. You can’t
go wrong with that kind of obsession. Love
Jesus so much that He is all you can talk about and all you live and breathe
for. Every waking moment of your
life focused on Jesus and His plan for your life.
WOW, now that’s an obsession! Oh
wait that would be Biblical now wouldn’t it?
