I Am the Idol

I was reading today in Isaiah 45 about idols.  In this day and age, I feel like our idols are not wooden or even electronic.  We are our own worst enemies when it comes to idol worship.  We place ourselves on the pedestal through our selfishness.  We serve our own desires over those of God and others.  I continued to look through scripture after reading Isaiah and found this verse from Philippians, Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. (2:3) This kind of smacked me a bit.  This is exactly what I was thinking about.  How often do I something because there is gain in it for me?  How often am I basking in the glory that really should be directed toward God?  There are moments in my life where humility is present  and then there are others where I know I am the idol on the pedestal. Lord, may your Spirit infiltrate me through and through to set you on the throne of my life that I will show Jesus' love to others and give you the glory.
