Things, we all possess them,
most of them have a hold on us
demanding all of our attention
oh, how over them we love to fuss.
Things, cluttering up our lives,
stuffed away in crammed drawers
lying out in the open spaces
locked away behind closed doors.
Things, keeping us so very busy,
taking us here and there
requiring all our leisure moments
leaving no time for God to spare.
Things, the need for this and that,
longing after the newest toy
always needing to upgrade
oh, how they give us so much joy.
Things, we gotta have them all,
tucking them deep inside our heart
playing with them in our minds
keeping us from God far apart.
Things, we all have lots of them,
taking the place of our Bibles
oh, how we worship them . . .
but to God they’re all idols!

1 John 5:21

“Little children, keep yourselves from
idols. Amen.”

Beautiful piece of an important reminder. Things don’t make you happy and worshiping material things is a sin. Thank you my friend. ❤️🙏

Every year I go through my house and get rid of the things that clutter up and add no value to my life! Next year will be no exception and I already have to bags to take to Goodwill. Hopefully you are resting up after your trip have a beautiful day friend in Jesus ❤
