Do You Worship God?

All You have made will praise You, Yahweh; the godly will bless You. - Psalm 145:10

Do you worship God?

Please understand that I'm not asking if you "attend" a church, because from my experience it is possible to be involved in that activity and never actually worship. Without removing personal responsibility, much of what occurs in "worship services" today seems more directed at improving our feelings than worshiping the Creator.

David wrote that all God has made will praise Him and that the godly will also bless Him (God). In other words, if you are not blessing or praising God, then maybe you're not really godly or, dare I say it, He didn't even make you? Ouch! I know that sounds a little harsh but not if you really think about it.

Is it possible for the creation to ignore its Creator? No? What about God's re-creation ignoring their Recreator? Can a person who has been given new life in Christ Jesus consistently ignore His presence in their life? Logically, one would think not, but sometimes our actions indicate otherwise.

Worshiping God is to live one's life in such a way that He gets supreme glory. Anything else is just idolatry. So, are we are worshiping God or just "going to church?" An empty pew isn't the only indication of our absence.

Worship is transcendent wonder. - Thomas Carlyle
