I recently saw a tweet by Tim Keller that said:
"If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself."
Idealized and idolized. Am I too busy trying to make God agree with me and my agenda?
As it says in Isaiah 55:8-9, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Because we are so inherently different, because God is so absolutely holy, of course He will often not agree with me.
So I need to change my ways, and not try mold God into mine. He is God and I am not. I need to let God be God. After all, if he thinks exactly like me, is he really God, or am I just making him in my own image?
