My view of God has for many years been one of this ‘person’ seated up high, out of reach and touch, and so big that He cannot be seen. In my minds eye all I can see are His legs and torso as the rest of His body disappears into the clouds on high. In thinking today about what faulty view of God I have had, I realize this is one view that is still very strong in my psyche today. God is big, awesome, all-powerful and all-knowing. He is also up there out of reach and out of touch. That maybe why I feel tempted to explain to him what happened during my day in detail, or summarize a conversation I have just heard with someone over which prayer is required. I know He is right here, right now all the time but KNOWING hasn’t made much of a difference.

This view has made it more difficult for me to seek God in my times of difficulty, probably because I figure that by the time I expend all the energy needed to get to Him I could have sorted my self out some other way. I suppose Abram and Sarai thought so too. This is one area I need to move from information to transformation.
