Ever wonder why we worship God. Well, it is because He is worthy of it.
“11Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
— Revelation 4:11 (ESV)
In the above verse we see that the elders surrounding the LORD worshiped Him. These elders surrounded the Throne of God as seen by John. They were there specifically to worship Him. They revered the LORD and took every opportunity to lift Him up.
When you look at the rest of chapter four in Revelation, we see the glory of the throne of God. We see Him at the center in the brightest of color and splendor. We see Him surrounded by these elders and creatures. All that surround Him were there to worship Him. All knew the grandeur of the LORD and all that He had done and all that He would do.
Look to the above verse and see it all. The LORD created all things. Look back to Genesis and read it all. And then look to the life and death and resurrection of Jesus and all that means for you and me. Look to the great commission and that He teaches us all we need and He sent one to be with us and guide us, the Holy Spirit. The LORD is definitely worthy of our worship.
And then there is our actions. We give glory to the LORD. We do all things for His glory. We ask for things to bring glory to Him. We receive salvation given by Jesus who died for our sins. We praise Him as He is on the throne of glory. The LORD receives our worship and He smiles at every utterance to Him in glory.
I am not worthy of the grace the LORD gives. I am not worthy to receive mercy. I am not worthy of any praise. I am not worthy of any worship as is no man. But God is. But Jesus is. But the Holy Spirit is. The LORD is worthy and receives our worship.
Who are you giving your worship? Are you worshiping man here in this world as they are the authority? What about the LORD and all that He did and does to be worthy of and to receive our worship?
