Do you know how silly your idol worship appears to God? Isaiah 40-44

Isaiah 44:15-17 (NASBStr)

Then it becomes something for a man to burn, so he takes one of them and warms himself; he also makes a fire to bake bread. He also makes a god and worships it; he makes it a graven image and falls down before it. Half of it he burns in the fire; over this half he eats meat as he roasts a roast and is satisfied. He also warms himself and says, “Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire.” But the rest of it he makes into a god, his graven image. He falls down before it and worships; he also prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god.”

Imagine how ridiculous we must be to God in regard to what we idol and worship.   We behold metal, fiberglass and chrome and it attracts our eye like bees see honey (well, it attracts my eye).     There are those who see thread put together in a unique design and cut to the correct size they can't wait to have it.   They stand in the mirror and gaze as the garment covers their sinful flesh.   But, they must admit, "I look good!"     Some can't wait until the next tech gadget comes out and will wait in long lines to simply have it, hold it and report back to others the trauma they endured just to be the first to have one.   Some will wait in cold, long lines to purchase a ticket that gives them standing room to worship at the feet of their latest band or musical artist.   They will spend a fortunate to hear someone or some group sing songs that have the same subject and same lines and same cords, simply done differently than the past.   They will worship them.   Yet, there are those who can't wait to gather the fiberglass and metal once it becomes old and useless.  Second hand shops flourish with garments seldom worn or no longer something that catches the eye of the buyer.   Tech gadgets are soon replaced by a new model that whistles rather than purrs.   Bands and artist appear and disappear like fireflies at night.   Burnout before they can actually be seen.  Hence Isaiah's words above.   The nation of Israel, like us, worshipped in such silly ways.   They would cut down a tree and use a part of it to keep warm and bake bread while using another part to worship and pray to and over.   Such is the state of idolatry.   Some worship the body and others the thing the body produces.   Only God is worthy of our worship and adoration.  Only He is sustainable and full of substance.   Only He is eternal and worthy of praise.   Don't worship the log when you have the One who made the log longing for and providing you a way to worship Him.
