Patio sitting is at the dead dry season now. That doesn’t mean my times of reflection have dried up. Sitting in Gods presence conversing with him from my desk brings plenty to reflect on. True the surroundings aren’t as lovely, but being with the one who loves me when I’m any thing but lovable, is true beauty.

Today he pointed out to me in Jonah 2:8 those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

Worthless idols are all around us. My reflection lingers that I myself am clingy. I idolize eating out. I love to go out to eat. I cling to and hold on to the act of someone else cooking and doing dishes. I know this is a worthless pursuit when I balance my checkbook and when I step on the scale. Clinging to this idol has brought a dry dead season in my life. I am no longer grateful for the special occasion of dinning out. I expect it and rarely give thought that it’s a privilege. I have no respect for the hard working hours it takes from Hubs and myself as I throw away our pay, and ruin my health. In truth I cling to being catered to.

Take some time today, and examine your heart. Drawing your attention and reflecting on the dry dead areas of your life. It’s possible those areas are a result of clinging to worthless idols.

What do you cling to?
