S – Do not have other gods besides me. ⁴ Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth

Exodus 20:3–4 CSB

O – Commentary:

Not recognizing any other god is the first step toward learning the truth that there are no other gods besides the Lord (see Deut 4:35; 6:4; Isa 43:10–11; 45:21–22).

20:4 Not making an image of God is the first step toward recognizing that he is transcendent—that he is the Creator of the universe and distinct from it. To represent God as something in creation was inevitably to end up worshiping the creation rather than the Creator, and this had deadly moral consequences (Rom 1:18–25).

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – God does not want to be limited or defined.  We will “worship” that definition or form instead of the heart and character of who He is.  This is difficult as humans because when we can put form to something (see, hear, feel, taste and smell), it gives us comfort.  God takes us beyond our comfort to a place of faith and trust in a God who has no limits.

R – Heavenly Father, please help us not to put you in a box.  We invite you Holy Spirit to continue to take down the walls we put up around you and allow us to see You as You truly are.  Allow your presence to far exceed any challenge we put in following You.
