Why Do We Worship Him?

Verse of the day: Psalm 95:3 For the Lord  is the great God, And the great King above all gods.

This Psalm is a call to worship, and a call to obedience. To worship Him because He is great. He is exalted above all, and Creator of all. He is Ruler of the universe, and greater than any idol god in existence. He is greater than angels, and there is no one like Him, and there has never been anyone like Him. So, my question today is, "Why do we worship Him?" Is it because of what He has done for us? Is it because of what we want Him to do for us? Has He not already done more than we desrve by giving us eternal life (for those who have put their faith in Him for salvation)? Has He not already died for us, and poured His Spirit upon us, indwelling us? If that is all any of us have, will that be enough to worship Him? If, like Job, He chose to allow us to lose all our material gain, all our family, all we possess, would we still worship Him? In John 2, God's Word tells us that many believed on His (Jesus') Name, but He did not commit Himself to them. Why? Because the only reason they "believed" was because they saw the miracles He performed. Their reason for following was selfish. God wants us to worship Him, not so much for what He does for us, but simply because of who He is...period. Yet, as great as He is, and even though He has already done so much, He still provides for us, takes care of us, protects us, is always with us, and has made sure that we will spend eternity with Him, thru the sacrifice of His Son. Today, let us worship Him! Let us lift our voices, and our hands in praise and thanksgiving, simply because He is God, and He is awesome! Let us worship our King, who is much better to us than we deserve! Why is He so good to us? Simply because He is God, King of kings, and Lord of lords!
