Have you ever felt that God's presence was gone, that no matter how hard you reached out for it, you couldn't find it? When this feeling comes, have you ever felt tempted to turn to something else other than God? If so, you, like me, are guilty of idolatry. When times of stress, fear, boredom or crisis come, and God seems far away, what is it that you turn to? The truth about you and me is that we all have a golden calf. We should never underestimate, take for granted, or forget the God of power that we love and profess to worship.
