Genesis 1:14-19: in context

On the fourth day of creation, God makes the lights in the sky: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night, and the stars also. He sets them to give light on the earth, to separate day from night, and to serve as signs for the seasons, the days, and the years. And God saw that it was good.

There is something quietly significant in how Genesis describes the sun and moon. The surrounding nations worshiped the sun and the moon as great gods, forces to be feared and served. And Genesis, without argument, quietly demotes them: it does not even call them by name, but simply the greater light and the lesser light, lamps that God made and set in the sky to serve. What the nations worshiped as gods, Genesis calls God's creatures, made by him, hung in the sky at his command, servants doing the humble work of giving light and marking time. The sun that others bowed to is God's lamp; the moon they feared is his lesser light. There is a freeing truth in that. The things that others treat as powers to be feared and served, the sun and moon of their world, are, to the God of Genesis, mere servants he made. And it holds for the powers we are tempted to fear and serve as well; whatever we are inclined to treat as a god, a force that rules us and must be appeased, is, if we saw it rightly, only a creature God made and rules. And notice, too, the ordering of time: God set the lights to mark seasons, days, and years, giving the rhythm of day and night, the turning of the seasons, as a gift. The order of time we live within is not accident but God's arrangement, his lamps marking out the rhythm of our days. The sun and moon are not gods but God's servants; and the time they measure is his ordered gift.

Do I treat as gods to be feared and served the powers of my world, when Genesis shows even the sun and moon, which the nations worshiped, to be only God's servant-lamps, and can I see whatever I am tempted to fear and serve as a mere creature God made and rules?
