Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.This is one I still struggle with. There are things I feel are lacking in my life, and due to my choices and/or others are denied me. But they are things I want, that people should have, and I don't.
So I constantly struggle with the desire to get those things my way, and it easily crosses into the list here. My very desire for them may constitute idolatry, but it doesn't change the fact that I desire them, and that at their core they are good things. So the wrestling with this list continues daily, while I try to turn myself to seek in another direction.
