What happens when we spend all our focus on something other than God? We associate money, sex, power, knowledge and even holiness, or goodness, as idols, but we don't often associate the desire for a spouse--the love of our life--as an idol. Tim Keller discusses Jacob and his quest for his love, and the way God blessed Leah to be the ancestral mother of Christ.

Jeremiah 9

Sometimes it is a matter of simply not choosing to follow any particular path, and not caring what happens to us along the way, blindly believing that things will work out. If we don’t have the mind of Christ we have the mind of the world, and in the world there are many opportunities to make bad choices.
