gods at war

There are gods fighting in your life everyday.  What you put above God our Father, whether you intend to or not, is an idol, and these idols morph into gods that want to control our lives.  Television, video games, movie stars, lust, gluttony are just a few of the many gods at war everyday.  We however, have the power to control this.  Through the power of prayer and the trust in Jesus Christ, we can overcome even the largest of our inner demons.
Lust and gluttony are both physical idols that we crave to control.  The control of another person, or how much you have to eat fall into these categories.  Video games and movies fall into the control category of time.  We want to have time to do everything, but if we let the things we do to kill time control us, then we lose ourselves in time.  Now, none of these things above are bad, but we must not allow them to consume us, or over time, we will lose ourselves.  Everyday there are gods at war, but as long as we rely on God our Father and not lose sight of the things that He wants for us, we will get through the hard times and survive our own battles inside.
