Godlike or godlike
1/19/14
No one can live without worshipping something or someone. Man has a need to worshop someone or something that is above him, beyond him, more intelligent, more powerful, more "whatever" than he is. Someone whom he is willing to bow before or something that he build his life on.
That one or that thing may have beauty or be ugly in the final analysis - depending on who makes the decision. It may be material or physical, it may be mental or personal. It is someone or something that is "worthy" of bending a knee or bowing a head in the eyes of the worshipper.
What is so interesting about what or who we choose to worship is that we eventually become like that god. For example, if our God is a God of love, we will love as that God loes. If our God if faithful, or caring, or holy, or compassionate, or truthful, or pure, or sinless - we will strive to become like that God.
If our god is sinful, we will sin willingly. If our god is cruel, or hateful, or untrustworthy, or covetous, or jealous, or inhumane, or self-centred - we will allow those traits to become evident or obvious in our lives.
Centuries ago the Psalmist predicted this: "Those who make them are like them, and so will all who trust in them."
Our behavior reflects the one whom we choose to bow before. Our lives reflect the one we worship. Being in prison shows the one I use to worship. But I now serve One who is greater.
