Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God.

What you worship is not what you say you believe in; it is what you reach for when things get hard. The thing you hold onto and tell the truth to has the real authority in your life. It might be a person, money, work, a reputation, a habit. Whatever it is, it is quietly setting your priorities.

Notice where you go first with bad news, and what you would feel most afraid to lose. That answer is more honest than any stated belief. If you do not like what it tells you, you can begin giving a little of that weight to something else.
