Worship is the response of all that man is to all that God is and does. We are not to worship for what we can get out of it, but because God is worthy of it. The Bible brilliantly teaches us that God is to be the sole object of our worship (Matthew 4:8-10). Since God is to be the exclusive object of our worship, it follows then that we are not to worship the devil, angels, departed saints, religious leaders, any person including ourselves, or any made up god (idol) in our mind, the riches of this world with all its deceptions, or any made up god (idol) in our mind that is different from Scripture.
The Bible brilliantly teaches us that God is to be the sole object of our worship in our lives (Exodus 20:1-5). Therefore, we must approach Him in reverence of godly fear (Hebrews 12:28-29). As we worship God we must realize that God is holy, and what happened when men encountered the holiness of God.
Abraham – confessed he was “dust and ashes” (Genesis 18:22-27). Job said – “I abhour myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:1-6). Habakkuk – “trembled” in the presence of God (Habakkuk – 3:16). A true worshipper of God has reverence for God, and will not approach Him in worship in a unreverent manner. Do you see your God that way? He is worthy! Are you giving reverence to God in your worship of Him?
