All of us have things in our lives that we can turn into "Hercules"... things that we love and we desire to give our hearts to, but we are always in danger of putting these things or people in a higher place than God.
When we recognize these things in our lives, it is important to remember that they cannot fully satisfy the way God can. They are not the blinding lights that we need. No matter how amazing it is, nothing in this world is permanent. The danger we create for ourselves is that we could potentially put all of our faith and trust into something that is not eternal.
Keep your eye on Him, the "North Star." He will never leave, never disappoint, and never be overcome by the things of this world.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." -John 1:1-5
