Psalm 50

These things you have done, and I kept silent;
You thought that I was altogether like you;
But I will rebuke you,
And set them in order before your eyes.
“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Lest I tear you in pieces,
And there be none to deliver: vv.21-22

Read chapter 50
How would you describe God? Do you know Him to be able to describe Him? Do you imagine what He's like based on movies, people in your life, dreams/hopes, yourself, etc? There has never been anything more common for men when it comes to their thoughts of God than for them to make Him out in their minds in their own image. Some view God as a old man with a long white beard just sitting or floating in the clouds, some view Him as a police offer always making rules and out to get you, some view Him as a genie in a lamp casting their wishes upon Him, oh and so many more images. Since God does not actively speak and reveal Himself, most men will simply imagine Him to be altogether like them. Romans 1:21," because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."  The day will come when God will no longer have men live as if He doesn't exist, they will know Him and never forget God or His works again. Forgetting God or never knowing Him is danger of destruction forever. God is the Only Savior and the Only Deliverer. So if He doesn't deliver you from destruction, no one else will. Matthew 10:28: "fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna."  What are some thoughts of who God is that you don't know if are true (your thoughts verses what the Bible says)?
