Got Any Idols


"An idol is an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed or any person or thing regarded with admiration, adoration, or devotion."
Would you like to have "rest" and peace in your personal kingdom?  What about rest and peace for an entire nation?
1.   The first step to aquiring rest and peace is...get rid of the idols.  Anything and I mean anything people, job, food, family, material posessions...
2.  The second step is...Seek the Lord God and crave for Him. Is God only a vital necessity when we are in distress or all the time?
3.  The third step is...Fortify your life, home, family and your mind spiritually.
II Chronicles 14:2-4
And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. He took away the foreign altars and high places and broke down the idol pillars or obelisks and cut down the Asherim [symbols of the goddess Asherah] And commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers [to inquire of and for Him and crave Him as a vital necessity], and to obey the law and the commandment. Also Asa took out of all the cities of Judah the idolatrous high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under his reign.  And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the Lord gave him peace.
