I Need To Get Back To Living By The Bible!

Yesterday, I prayed and

read my Bible.

But soon afterward…  

I brought out my “idol.”

This “idol” is something

I’ve tried to hide.

I can’t seem to let go of it.

 I’ve too much “pride.”

This thing has brought “pleasure”

for a time.

But now has effected what’s

 in my mind!

My prayer life isn’t

what it used to be.

I can’t “shake it.”  It has a “hold” of me!

This “idol” has taken up

residence in my life.

I’ve lost interest in my family

 and wife!

It’s had an impact on what I’ve

 said and thought.

I think; “what kind of lie

have I really bought?”

Only Jesus can give me

the satisfaction I seek!

I know that he is with me

each day of the week!

I decided to get rid of my “idol”

 and throw it away!

I now enjoy God’s peace

in my life every day!

God has restored my trust

and belief in him!

He’s brought restoration

 and a hope within!
