I have lifted up my soul to quite a few idols: alcohol, work, food, clothes, golf! Having a pure heart is such a challenge, but I need that blessing. Lord, I need that promised blessing.

Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, 
Nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive blessing from the Lord, 
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
