We Worship God because HE is God

We Worship God because HE is God

During the tenure of the great orator Henry Ward Beecher, a visiting minister (Beecher's brother) once substituted for the popular pastor. A large audience had already assembled to hear Beecher, and when the substitute pastor stepped into the pulpit, several disappointed listeners began to move toward the exits.

That's when the minister stood and said loudly, "All who have come here today to worship Henry Ward Beecher may now withdraw from the church. All who have come to worship God keep your seats!"

Psalm 96:9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

For the next few days we are going to talk about Worship.

Often the worship leader encourages the congregation to praise God and worship HIM for all the blessings God has given. For many the idea of Worshipping God is limited to the fact that he help us so we praise Him. Perhaps it is borne out of our flesh and the materialistic approach to God himself.

It is very important to know that God is good and HE is love. There is no doubt about it. God is the provider and he provides. But often our Worship is motivated by the needs that he has met and the new doors he has opened. Well then it’s not Worship, it’s just being grateful and perhaps diplomatic as well.   

We Worship God because He is God. There’s no other reason to add to it or make him more worthy. God alone is worthy of our Worship and he alone deserves it. Whether He works to our expectation or not, HE is still God. Whether we Worship HIM or not, HE is still God. We Worship God because HE is God.
