My Little God Box

In the Bible God clearly tells the Israelites not to build idols to worship. What I never realized before was God was including idols of himself.

Many "gods" require statues to be built of themselves to be worshiped. What is different about the one true God is He doesn't want a man made picture of himself worshiped, He wants the unknown worshiped also.

When we think we understand God and who He is, we get a "picture" of Him in our minds. What we have to understand that the picture we have is not God. It is our idea of who He is.

Are you following me? It seems like details but it is actually a pretty big deal. When you lift up a picture of God you begin worshiping only what you understand of Him. God will then shake up your image of Him to remind you that He is far far more that you can think or imagine.

To fully worship Him we have to have our understanding of God increasing all the time. If you have put God in a box... well, your life is now in a box.
