Give us clean hands
Give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another.

I realised that in everything that I engage in, there's a threshold which once crossed, leads to it becoming an idol. Spending too much time thinking about something becomes idolatry. Happened recently, in the past year i guess, or 2 years? I've been engaged in people, girl(s), ministry, work etc etc, and these things have from time to time become idols.

I realised the consequence of idolatry is not that God will punish me or something, but that His jealousy gets aroused. He gets jealous when I thought of her day and night. He's jealous when I spend my emotions and thoughts on "ministry". I love these people, but my life does not revolve around them. It revolves around God alone. He is jealous for me. For my affection, devotion, obedience etc. My God, my beloved.
