Judges 8

27 Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.

Isn’t it strange how something so seemingly ok turns out to be just the thing that removes you from your Heavenly Father? I know there are times when I believe I am doing “good” things…such as helping at Church, School, Friends, etc…and when I really start thinking about it and stepping back and praying, I realize if I would just stop for a few minutes, stay home more and relax, I would have a closer more secure relationship with Christ because I could be more involved with Him.  This is my interpretation of this verse.
