We know that idols don't satisfy us yet we still choose them over the Lord.
A reason is that idols don't require denying yourself or seeking holiness. You can feel comfortable in your sin. You live in idolatry. You seek help and comfort from something that wasn't meant to be your comfort and your peace. It leaves you with a false sense of safety.
God gives real safety that might not always feel comfortable or popular but it won't leave you emptier than you started. Jesus gives a peace that surpasses all understanding and is something nothing else in this world could ever give (Philippians 4:7). Idols leave us empty and wanting more. God satisfies us fully for we were made and created to worship Him and not His creation.
Is your heart set in the Creator or creation?
