God Is Worthy Of Worship

In this time of easy access to everything we want or need, I find it truly difficult to stop and worship God for everything I have.  I tend to focus on the things “I” have accomplished and have worked for, it’s is all about me, isn’t it?  From my perspective that is how a lot of people are.  But our God is a jealous God, He alone is worthy of our worship!  No one, not ourselves, government officials, celebrities, professional athletes, and no thing, not money, knowledge, technology, or earthly possessions should be worshipped instead of God!  But that is easier said than done sometimes.  It has to be a life change, a mind set.  We need to leave all we know behind just as Abram did in Genesis 12 and fully follow and trust in God, only then will we be able to fully receive all He has promised.  In Genesis 11, we read about the tower of Babel and how God confused the languages of the people because they wanted to be their own gods and were building a building to call attention to themselves, not the One True God.  But God knew it would take more than confusing their languages to save the human race, and we will eventually see that trough the family line of a man named Abram, God would send a redeemer for all of mankind! 

May you remember this week that God is worthy of your praise and worship.    Miss Melissa
