8 Those who regard vain idols Forsake their faithfulness, (Jonah 2:8)

What consumes your thoughts and actions?

What can you point to, like a compass, when you look at your life, as the one primary direction your life has followed? Really visualize this. Where does true north point.

Do not shortchange the exercise. Do not look away from what the needle points to. If you are honest and really sum up all of the possible points on the compass of your life, where has true north pointed the most?

Work? Self? Success? Pursuits?

Yes, there are many other points on the compass where we travel at times, but where has your compass pointed the most? What has been your biggest time sink, you heaviest mental focus.

It is when we take this hard look at where we spend the majority of our time navigating toward that we begin to realize how tiny many of the other points on the compass have become.
