Because He is Worthy, We Worship Him
The question we have been dealing with, in
these past few weeks is why we worship God, what is the reason for that which
we do worship and today we continue with this question expounding it. We
worship God because he is worthy of all praise.
“I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be
praised” Psalms 18:3
“He is our praise He is our God”
Deuteronomy 10:21
Worthy means (a) having worth or merit or value;
(b)
Having qualities or abilities that merit recognition
God is already worthy and mighty, that is
one thing that is not going to change and there is nothing we can do about it.
We worship God to tell him who He is, not that we worship because He has
blessed us but that He is worthy. It’s not like God does not have creation to
praise Him but we were created for the very this very reason that is to bring
pleasure to Him all day.
Man was created especially for them to be
intimate with God to know God more, trees or creation do not have intimacy with
God only us. We will get to know God when we understand his worth to us as
creation and mankind. With that understanding that He is worthy, worship Him
and just adore him for that reason alone.
Our job is to minister, to bless God, to
glorify, to honour, God Whether or not you know the names of God, whether or
not you can rhyme them, sing them, what
we are here to do is glorify God for His Worth.
God’s
worth is His glory, creative ability, the fact that he is God, the fact that He
Rules, He reigns, His strength, the fact that He is love and that his power is
greater than any doesn’t that make God more worthy of Worship. God does not
need to show or do anything that can show that He is worthy it is because His
qualities and abilities are merited.
The verse in 1 Chronicles 16:28-30
which says:
“Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah
glory and strength; Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an
offering, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy array.”
It shows us that when we worship God
we are delivering, giving to Him what already belongs to Him. That is worship,
the worship that is due to Him alone. This is one of the reasons why God is
jealous about worship because his worth cannot be compared with any or given out
to other gods.
When we worship we are fulfilling
the command and mandate as creation which is to worship Him, why should you
always come before God with a reason, today why not just come before God and
worship Him because He is worthy of worship, He is Worthy of all worship and
praise
“Worship Him in the Beauty of His
Holiness”
