In Isaiah 41, Isaiah says, “Behold” twice, regarding idols.
“The human heart is an idol-factory”
- Martin Luther
An “Idol” is anything you look to for that which only God can give.
An idol is usually a “good thing” which we make into an “ultimate thing”

"In the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.
And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god … to worship … is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.
If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth.
Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally plant you.
Worship power, and you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear.
Worship your intellect and being seen as smart, and you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out."
- David Foster Wallace
