Questions to ask yourself to see if you are falling into idolatrous ways:

• Do I prioritize anything or anyone before God?

• Does anything bring me more pleasure than the things of God?

• Do I place my identity in anything over my status as a child of God?

• Do I look to anything or anyone to meet my needs instead of God?

• Do I seek fulfillment or satisfaction from anything outside of God?

• Do I seek comfort outside of God?
