Clear The Stage

Last night, I attended a Bible Study with some of my close friends... and boy was it convicting. We have been going through a series called," Behold Your God."  It's about looking at God for who He really is, and treating Him like He deserves.  Last night's session was about idols.  I had always thought that idols were anything you put before your God in importance, but it's more than that.   It's anything that you put before your God, anything that you can't stop thinking about,  and anything that you love with all your heart as well.  I learned so much as all I could think about were the many things that came to mind immediately that could be classified idols in my life.  Two that came to mind right off was sleep and my phone.  For some it might be clothes and shopping.  For others it might be certain foods or maybe a relationship.  I left realizing how easy certain things or people can become idols and thinking about how hard I'm going to try to keep Christ first because nothing and no one is better than Him.

This song by Jimmy Needham, was a song that one of my friends shared last night and it s message went right along with what we studied.  It's called," Clear The Stage," and I hope that it speaks to you as powerfully as it spoke to me.

P.S. His testimony is also inspirational!  If you YouTube "Jimmy Needham Testimony" you will find it.
