It’s easy to understand how those who are seeking closeness with the Creator will turn to creation to do so. Some of the earliest religions thought that God was a being that was constrained to places or objects. Even some of us who consider ourselves followers of Christ say that we feel closer to God in certain places – the mountains, the beach, or a comfy chair in our home with our favorite Bible and a cup of coffee. Are we worshipping the creation, rather than the Creator? God is everywhere. The best way to feel closer to God is by going to Him with a heart that recognizes our place in our relationship with Him and with an earnest desire to be transformed by Him.
