Who or what wields power in my life?

Morning: Psalm 106:1-18; 2 Kings 21:1-18; I Corinthians 10:14-11:1
It was a bad day for the Gadarenes when, because of Jesus, their demon-possessed pigs ran off a cliff into the Sea!  Those pigs remind me to be aware of any illegitimate power in my life – it could be, perhaps, another person, or a fear of poverty, or a desire for wealth; it could be an unrealistic dream or goal?  St. Paul makes demons equal to idols.  I can become so possessed by these powerful energies that they become like little gods, running my life.  Which invites me to ponder: Who or what wields power in my life?
