"Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."

1 Corinthians 10.11-14

Idolatry comes in many shapes and subtleties. Anytime we place ourselves, someone, or something as more important (have higher priority) than obeying God's word - is a form of idolatry.

For every decision we make in our daily lives, God will "provide the way of escape" from choosing the idol, so instead we can choose obeying God. It may not be obvious at times, but obedience is always an option.

The world may ridicule us for choosing obedience over giving in to the temptation, but obeying God brings peace and joy that the world cannot give. We can choose obedience.
