Finding and Experiencing "It".

The simplest and most natural form of evil is idolatry. Our hunger for God is so great, that whenever and however we experience him, we are prone to make that experience "It". Idolatry is when we begin to focus on any subsidiary or secondary thing as "It".
This peculiar form of idolatry, I call it "Experiential Idolatry", is most often revealed in our excitement: "Are you going to that concert? O man, are you missing it!" Have you read that book? It is anointed! Are you in that small group? "You're missing out!" God is here, God is there, God is moving, and you are missing it." All these things I have said in my excitement, and sometimes I still say them.

The greatest cure for idolatry is a steady devotional life; a daily encounter with Jesus. But beware, until that devotional life, (be it early morning, afternoon, or late evening) matures into prayer without ceasing, limited devotion itself can become idolatry.
It is not my quiet time that sustains me. It is Jesus. It is not some anointed speaker that guides me, it is Jesus. It is not some meeting that is "It". IT is Jesus.
