Worshipping God alone
Why worship God alone? Of course, God alone is worthy is my worship. God demands it of himself. In the past this has made me cringe a bit. Society tends to think of people demanding attention or ‘worship’ as being arrogant, or self centered. So to hear of God saying that he should have ALL our worship may seem arrogant. But God deserves it, for his own sake - but also for ours too. The evangelist Pete Woodcock wrote that God would be wicked and warped if he encouraged us to treat anything else as worthy of our worship…things that would fail to satisfy us. Jesus said that a father would not give his son a scorpion if he wanted bread. This is something similar. If God did not demand our worship he would be allowing / encouraging us to chase after things that would not satisfy our hunger. God is not like that. He is loving. It seems to me that to be hungry for God and his glory is the only thing that will satisfy me.
