Idolatry

I started 2 Kings today and it starts with Ahaziah falling down and wanting to know if he is going to get better. So he sends some dudes out to consult Baal-Zebub and God sends Elijah to tell A. that he will die because he sent to ask B-Z instead of God. Now you or I probably wouldn't go running to ask B-Z any questions, but there are so many things in this life that act as a B-Z. When we want to know something significant do we go to God first? When we want to do something significant do we go to God first? Are there things that come first in our lives ahead of God?
Thank you God, for being jealous after our hearts. Even though it might feel demanding and though you are taking things we want away from us, you know and want what is best for us. Help us to listen to your heart for us.
