Seeing Me

Today as I was reading in Ezekiel, it hit me how God continuously brought up the fact that Israel offered their children to their idols. I began to look at North America in a different light. What is an idol? Anything that takes the place of God in a person's heart. Here in NA each of us as individuals have done this. Our idols are ourselves. Unfortunately, we have also been sacrificing our children to these idols. How you may ask? Every time an abortion is performed we have put self as an idol and made that child the sacrifice for that idol. How God's heart must be breaking centuries after the Israelites were condemned for what they had done. We don't even give the child the chance to breath; no, we are too important for that. May God convict us of our selfishness and pride to presume to replace Him and that we may stop these sacrifices. They are much too precious and we ourselves are of way too little value.
