Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet



What Have You Deposited Into Your Heart?

“Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart,
and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity,
and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes,
according to the multitude of his idols…’”
Ezekiel 14:4

Most of the passages in the Bible that deal with idolatry are speaking of images, objects, statues, etc, that people use or wear for protection or “good luck.” But in this passage the Lord is speaking of idols that are in the HEART of a man.

What is idolatry of the heart?

It’s anything that is in the heart that replaces God or prevents the Spirit of the Lord working in the heart of a person. It’s anything a man does that “causes him to stumble into iniquity.”

What have you placed in your heart that causes you to sin? If you desire for God to be your God, then you must remove whatever causes you to stumble into sin. Get rid of it!

Vs 6:
“Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
REPENT, turn away from your idols,
and turn your faces away from all your abominations.’”

If you refuse to, you’re on your own.
