Monday, March 31 Inspired Worship And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan. For it is written, You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve. Luke 4:8 Recommended Reading Genesis 1:1-29 Feelings of awe alert us to the fingerprints of God. Whether we feel it in response to a sunset, the rushing of a waterfall, or the majesty of angels, its easy to be swept up in the moment and to forget the Creator behind the breathtaking beauty. Our natural instinct is to move from awe to worship. When John came face-to-face with angels, they were beyond anything he had seen before. He fell facedown to worship them. Swiftly, the angel rebuked him, See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant ...Worship God (Revelation 22:9). The angel reminded John that only God is worthy of our worship. God created the heavens and the earth to reveal His glory. Dont allow creation to eclipse and steal the worship God desires and deserves. Our feelings of awe can increase our worship of God. The brilliant radiance of a sunset reminds us of His radiance. The crashing of waves reminds us of His power. If we focus our adoration on creation, we miss the point. God is greater. Who or what will you worship today? [Worship is] the specific act of ascribing to God the glory, majesty, honor, and worthiness that are His.
