What do you worship?

“Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.” Psalm 115:7
This passage in Psalm 115:4-8 describes some of the aspects of idols: having mouths, but unable to speak; having eyes, but being blind; having ears, but being deaf; having noses, but being unable to smell; having hands and feet but being unable to use them.
When we hear the word ‘idol’, we instantly imagine a small statue in the shape of a man or something else, made of stone, wood, or metal. Then, with that image in mind, we instantly dismiss the thought that we could be guilty of idolatry. But we shouldn’t. There are many things in our own lives that can be idols: our possessions, our money, our car, home, education, even a person in our lives, if it trumps God for first place, it is an idol. When will we learn that we can’t trust in these things?
This verse also gives us an interesting insight: “Those who make them will be like them”. We become like that which we worship. If we worship things made of brick and metal, we will become hard, cold, and unfeeling like them. If we worship money, we will be consumed by it, even as it is consumed by things. But if we worship God, we will become like Him. This should be the goal of every child of God.
