Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods; I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 19:4
A nice car or a nice house or a good job or any number of things can come between us and God. We may not think that these are idols, but if our objects are more important to us than anything else, then we have made an idol.
When we devote our time, talents and energy to things which do not love us back, we reduce our own humanity to that of something less than we are. We are made in the image of God and we are at our best when embrace the love God has for us and live lives of thankfulness and gratitude to our maker, not to the maker of our Chevrolet.
Love your family, love your friends and love the Lord your God.
