The bible talks about a time when Ezekiel the prophet was in the land of Babylon. When Ezekiel was in the land of Babylon the elders of Israel came before him and when the elders of Israel came before Him possibly they did not know that The LORD had told Ezekiel what they had put in their hearts. They may have presumed that Ezekiel would probably not come to knowledge of what they were doing .. The LORD began to tell Ezekiel what was in the heart of these elders. Ezekiel 14:1,3[1]THEN CAME certain of the elders of Israel to me and sat before me.
[3]Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and put the stumbling block of their iniquity and guilt before their faces; should I permit Myself to be inquired of at all by them?

Many of us have set up idols in our hearts, on the outward our appearances all good yet in the inward calibre of our spirituality is frustration and all about frustration
