We can only worship what we know.

We live in the Information Age.  We constantly seek out more information about our favorite celebrities because the more we know, the more we can fawn over them, or imitate them, or be like them. Unfortunately the current celebrity is the wrong focus of our worship. And if you really think about it, you probably don’t really want to be like them.

We were made to be shaped into God’s image so our focus should be on how to be more like Him. And in fact this is the way we grow in our worship. When we know God we are not only able, but we are drawn to worship Him. When we realize the fullness of his love and the extent of his grace, we can’t help but worship him!

David, King of Israel, had this experience as well. He wanted to build a temple to worship God. Ultimately his son Solomon built it, but when it was completed, David worshipped!

Here’s his prayer:

“David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.”

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭29:10-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Spend some time reading through all the attributes of God mentioned in this passage and then spend some time growing in your worship of God!
