We are not a body with a soul; we are (first) a soul with a body.
Exodus 20:3–5 (NIV84) 3 You shall have no other gods before me. 4“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything . . . 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. . .
Our souls are created to worship the One true living God.
Deuteronomy 4:16-19 So do not corrupt yourselves by making an idol in any form...whether a man or a woman, an animal on the ground, a bird in the sky, a small animal that scurries along the ground, or a fish in the deepest sea. And when you look up in the sky and see the sun, the moon, and the stars-all the forces of heaven...don't be seduced into worshiping them.

What if my soul has been seduced? What if I have been seduced into elevating what might be a good thing and making it a supreme thing?
Identify the idols of our souls.
Psalm 24:3–4 (NIV84) 3Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol.
How do I spend my time?
How do I spend my money?
