“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built!” (1 Kings 8:27)
A god who thought like you, lived like you, and needed you would not be worth worshipping. All the idols of our hearts (wealth, popularity, pride, sexuality, gluttony, etc.) are inferior to us. Don’t worship inferior gods!
Worship the one true and living God who is too big to be contained by the heavens because He made them. Worship the God who is wiser than you, instead of the gods which you construct in your own mind.
You cannot be saved by a lesser god, only the Greater One.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 1:9)
