First, it must be recognized that one of the deepest, if not the deepest, flaw in man's weakened nature since the Fall is a heart prone to idolatry, to seeking after that which is not its true subject of worship in order to find the meaning of its existence. Were this not so the Creator would not have given His rational creatures the first and most elemental command: "I am your God, you shall not commit idolatry by seeking others."
We know that the Creator loves his creatures and gives them laws to obey so that they may be protected in His love and find life, joy and peace in this life and eternal glory in the next. Therefore we cannot accept every notion which comes to us, either from others out of a desire for communion, or from ourselves out of curiosity, idleness, passion, disquietude or weariness of discipline. "You must never grow weary of doing what is right brothers." (2 Thessalonians 3.13) Would this have been told us if weariness of following the right were not so easy and dangerous for us?
Perhaps it is a great ploy of the enemy to convince us that the life-long discipline and self-denial necessary to obey the Creator is in some way abhorrent to our freedom. That it degrades us and renders our worship too sterile, that worship born from disciple is not authentic, that only spontaneous, "free" worship when one settles into it after other explorations is genuine and worthy of God.
We can also be a source of idolatry for others. Land, power, security, influence, money, pleasure, noise, alcohol, image, dissipation, drugs, career, sex, worldliness...all can be ways in which we seek the meaning of our lives. And that in which we seek the source, summit and root meaning of our life - is that not our god?
The discipline required to obey does not seem to come natural to the soul since the Fall. If it did, self-mastery and renunciation (and ultimately the cross) would not be such key elements to the spiritual life. But they are and so constant vigilance is the burden we must bear in this life, as well as constant repentance.
It is well enough to meditate on the first commandment.
