High places

I've been thinking a lot about "high places"......it is always so sad in the old testament when there was a "good" king, but he failed to destroy the "high places"..... the places of idol worship.....So as I was reading and studying about lies we believe I kept reading this verse...

·          We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ..."(2 Corinthians 10:5)        

a     and it hit me that the lies I belive are my "high places".....they are idols that I trust in rather than the truth of God, the promises of God.......I have some work to do, but now it becomes more clear why the kings of old didn't always destroy the high places. Easier to just let them be.........But we are in a battle, and a battle is never "easy"....we fight for God's glory and for His kingdom.............May His kingdom come, May His will be done.
