And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the LORD your God and obey his voice. For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
I may not fall down before a stone idol but I certainly have the inclination at times to put some other god before the LORD, God the Almighty. Sometimes it may be as simple as wanting to check the news in the morning before I take some time with my Lord. I've forgotten that I need to put on the full armor of God before I step out to do battle for Him.
