Toys

I started reading The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer and the last chapter I read dealt with materialism.In that, in order to have a more intimate relationship with God we need to cut out things we hold on to that seperate us.Things we coddle and view as our "toys" if you will.We all have them and so do I. The thing for me is to let go of those toys that I have cherished so much and let them go -even if it means to violently remove them.Toys can become idols and thus remove the Lord off the throne and place themselves upon it by our hands.A very challenging task for me.
