Idolatry

“. . . but mark whenever we make a golden calf to worship sooner or latter it will come to this,-we shall get our golden calf ground up and put into our water for us to drink, and

then we shall have to say, “He hath made me drunken with wormwood.”  Never a man makes an idol for himself to worship but it tumbles down on him and breaks some of his bones. There was ne’er a man yet who departed to broken cisterns to find water, but instead thereof he found loathsome creatures therein, and was bitterly deceived. God will have his people live on him, and on none else, and if they live on anything else but him he will take care to give them of the waters of Mara, to embitter their drink, and drive them to the Rock of purest streams. Oh, beloved, let us take care that our hearts are wholly his, only Christ’s, solely Christ’s!”

[Spurgeon, MTP, Vol. 1, p. 689]
