The worship of me

If we focus on ourselves instead of God, we stop worshiping Him, and start worshiping us. Nothing good can come from our righteousness, which is like filthy rags, but every good and perfect gift comes from God. What if God changed our hearts so that we desired only the good things of God? So that we stopped desiring this world, and the things of this world, and started desiring God, and His good and perfect gifts. Broccoli instead of ice cream. Peas instead of cookies. Would we even want that, or does that sound like a major bummer to us, a burden far to heavy to carry? The bible instead of a "good book." Prayer instead of a movie. This is a major difference and even a strange thought to us because of where our heart is, and the condition of our thinking. We have been raised in a western society with all it's benefits and foibles. We have been trained to think in certain ways, it's who we have become. I hate that about me. I want to have the mind of Christ, but how can I if all I think about are movies, music, food, books, things that don't bring life, but entertainment. Do not love this world or the things of this world the bible teaches us. (1 John 2:15) So let me love God more than this world. Let me love His son more than pizza, let me seek Him first and His righteousness and then all the thing sI actually need, and many I simply like, will be added to us. (Matthew 6:33)
