Three Ways to Resist Today’s Idols

When you hear the sound…

Eat this, wear that, post now, follow me, on and on the list goes. “When you hear the sound” said one group, “bow down and worship the golden image.” Today we don’t see many 90’ statues but there is still plenty bowing taking place. We bow to the golden image of sports, social media, politics, religion, debt, children, you name it we pretty much worship it.

How do we stand when idol worship so easily invades our hearts and ways? Where do we turn when the sound of “the music” is so tempting, when it’s easier to just…conform?

Here are three ways Elder Todd encourages us to resist bowing to the false idols of our day.

Know the Lord

A personal relationship is key to standing. The three Hebrew Boys knew their God. Their faith was anchored in a good, able, and all-powerful God, is yours? (Daniel 3:17-18)

Rehearse His Goodness

God has a track record. Look back, He’s been faithful to you in the past. He’s still able to keep you from falling and bowing today. But just in case you forgot, read Lamentations 3:22-23!!

Give God the Glory

Praise God for keeping you in His will. They were victorious not because the smoke had no effect on them, or the fire did not consume them…they were victorious because they Gave God glory through it all. When you give God the Glory, He will give you the victory ~ PTG

When you hear the sound, trust God!

Have a blessed week family
