From Heart of Mary Women’s Fellowship
Some of us may find it hard to trust in the Lord.
But as the Psalm says
“those who choose another god multiply their sorrows.”
We may not bow down before statues of cows, but many of us would rather find comfort in things such as wealth, pleasure, power and honor. In this time of year, wealth and pleasure are especially tempting idols. Like Ebenezer Scrooge, we can hold onto our things like a miser. We can also overindulge in shopping or eating too much or drooling over attractive actors. None of these things are bad in and of themselves, but none of them will fulfill us the way that God does.
