4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
God says, "When you go looking for Me, don't look at what you can see. Don't look at anything He has created on any of the days of creation: not in the air, on the land, in the water, or in the mirror. Don't think that you can make something or take something in your hand and hold it and say: "This is my God." Now that may sound crazy, but that really describes well what mankind has often done and still does today. We might not do it with our words like that, but we do it with our choices. We want to create and control, and even if we don't have much creativity to make, we still want to control as if we did create. We want a god we can tell what to do, not One who tells us what we should do. What god are you trying to hold in your hand?
