Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:1-3
Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Joshua 1:8

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the

„Asa did what was good and right in eyes of the LORD his God. He removed the foreign altars and the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to obey his laws and commands. He removed the high places and incense altars in every town in Judah, and the kingdom was at peace under him." 2 Chronicles 14:2-5


Have you ever thought about you having idols in your life? What are idols? An idols is anything that takes the place of God. Everything that we give a high priority to can become an idol. Idols can be objects, people, ideas, ideals and ways of thinking. Everything that we believe in and pay excessive time and attention  to, or might even - consciously or unconsciously- worship can be an idol. But our God is a jealous God and He wants to be our Number One. When we put God in first place we are doing good. Let's look at the example of King Asa. He did what was right and good in God's eyes and destroyed all the high places and altars of idol worship. The result was that the kingdom was at peace. God turned the enemies away from Judah.

Take a moment and reflect about your current situation. Is there peace in your heart or is your life totally out of control? Are there idols in your life? Then destroy them with the authority and power that God gave you as a child of God. You have the power and authority, so use it and be freed from what keeps you in chains. God will give you the needed strength and His blessings, both of which you need. Turn your back on your temptations and turn back to God. He will reward you and give you peace and blessings.
