Guarding against idolatry

This week the challenge from Exodus 21-24 was "no other gods... no idols".

The two questions that have got me thinking are:
"What do you think about when your mind in in neutral?"
"What do you do during your idle moments?" (No pun intended?)

An objective observer of my own life over the past week would conclude that ______ is my god.

I'm still thinking about this. What about you?

Sovereignty

Reading in Genesis this week. Was reminded of the planning and control of God. Through all of his circumstances God was preparing Joseph for the role of saving his family. Not a bad reminder that even in the difficult circumstances there is a God at work.
