See how the wicked prowl on every side, while the worthless are prized highly by the sons of men. - Ps 12, 8
Oh, the ridiculous things in which we place our value. Not one of them is worthy of exaltation, free from corruption when it becomes our goal rather than a means and pathway to God. Beauty, pleasure, fitness, music, art, athletic prowess, security, power, success, health, intelligence; all of these things can be and have been corrupted - and corrupt us in return - when turned into their own end. I am dismayed at some of what we publicly exalt, let alone what we privately indulge.
Lord, help me to keep my eyes upon you.
