Lil Thoughts: Who is Your American "Idol"???

Who are they, and What do they symbolize?

What is their purpose?

Is this what our expectations should be in life?

To become famous?

Rich?

Be the best looking?

And then our lives will be happy and perfect?

Personally I have found, that this is what most people desire. Becoming rich, famous, and being the hottest chick/guy in town. Although these people above, are very successful, and some are good role models , these type of people should not become our idols. Most of the world today strives on all these things, that are worldly things, and they have lost the whole picture of life. Its hard not to step into the worldly things, but it seems as though it surrounds us. I know at times, I want to have a lot of money, because sometimes the world tells us that you will be happy if your rich, but I find it very ironic, that must rich people are not happy, and they can never have enough. It says in James 5:1-3, Look, here you rich people:weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away and your fine clothes are moth eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you on the day of judgement. These verses are so very powerful, and tell us that things on this earth are no good, and if your idol in life is being wealthy and having the most expensive thing, than it might seem as though on earth, that your life is great, and your powerful, but when your time comes to meet the Lord, that power will be wiped away, and you will than realize that all wealth and expensives you cumulated on earth, were pointless and had no meaning in life.

One thing, was missing, and that was God.

If only I could explain this to the whole world and they would understand, This world would than be a mighty and powerful place, that made the Lord happy, but there will always be unbelievers, but we as Christian, have to live throughout example and our actions will shine through to the people who are lost, in this worldly world, where things that are accepted now, go against all measures of the word of God.

Most people are followers, for example following trends, listening to peoples advice, or doing what one is told to do or believe.

My mission is to be a leader, that is to follow God, but lead others the right down the path and not the wrong way.

which path will you choose?
