2Ch 15:8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
What kind of idol is abominable? We all have different tendencies and different weaknesses. One person might look at one thing and say, "I would never do that." Another might look and consider something else a more abominable sin. Either way, this verse makes it clear, all idols are abominable. Also, it does not matter what idol it is in your life it will take courage to conquer it. When did Asa attain this courage? When he heard the Words of the Lord.
Gang, courage is found in the Word of the Lord. I understand we all have different pressures in our lives. It will take courage to up root those idols. It will take sacrifice. It will take focus. Most of all, it will take a dedicated follower of the Word of God. Stay in the Word. Live in the Word. Abide in the Word. Because without it we are not couragous. Without courage, we are a slave to our idol. Take courage in God an conquer!
