Romans 1:25
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
Fantasy is a lie. There is a value to imagination, but sexual fantasies are not only false, but are a fake replacement for the real thing (that is, an idol). Paul says of those involved in sexual immorality: "They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creater" (verse 25). The lie is to worship and serve "beautiful people" who we idolize, thinking that if we had a relationship with them then our life would be wonderful. But true life requires God the Creator; trying to find life outside of God will just leave us empty handed.
Heavenly Father, you are the Creator and Eternal One; help me to worship You and You alone.
