I was reading in II Kings and was struck by the words in chapter 17 verse 15, "They followed worthless idols and they themselves became worthless." You become what you worship. If your worship money you become an ungiving tightwad without charity. If you worship beauty you become fixated on beautiful people, choosing to discriminate based on outward appearance rather than the heart; a rather shallow perspective on life. If you worship pleasure, you seek out only pleasurable activities, avoiding pain for yourself; instead causing great pain to others. If you worship yourself, you become selfish, self-centered, and self-serving; unmoved and uncaring about the needs of others.
