Places of the Heart

Bible in a Year: 2 Chronicles 25-27, John 16

You shall not make for yourself an image.
Exodus 20:4

Today's Scripture & Insight: Exodus 20:1-6

Here are some vacation tips: The next time you're traveling through Middleton, Wisconsin, you might want to visit the National Mustard Museum. For those of us who feel that one mustard is plenty, this place amazes, featuring 6,090 different mustards from around the world. In McLean, Texas, you might be surprised to run across the Barbed Wire Museum—or more surprised there is such a passion for, well . . . fencing.

It's telling what kinds of things we choose to make important. One writer says you could do worse than spend an afternoon at the Banana Museum (though we beg to differ).

We laugh in fun, yet it's sobering to admit we maintain our own museums—places of the heart where we celebrate certain idols of our own making. God instructs us, "You shall have no other gods before me" (Exodus 20:3) and "you shall not bow down to them or worship them" (v. 5). But we do anyway, creating our own graven gods, perhaps of wealth or lust or success—or of some other fill-in-the-blank "treasure" we worship in secret.

It's easy to read this passage and miss the point. Yes, God holds us accountable for the museums of sin we create. But He also speaks of "showing love to a thousand generations of those who love [Him]" (v. 6). He knows how trivial our "museums" really are. He knows our true satisfaction lies only in our love for Him.

Reflect & Pray
What is an area of sin that you keep secret? How will you give it to God?

Dear God, I want You to be at the center of my life. Help me rid myself of the idols I keep.
