Who or What Do You Really Worship?
If you are a follower of Jesus, who or what would you say your daily actions show that you worship most?
At Alethia today they talked about how we were made to worship something by design.
I'll be honest and share that I struggle most days to truly worship God by my actions. I'm more gifted at worshiping ME. No, I don't have an altar set up with pictures of me that I bow before - nothing that obvious. But my actions often show I'm focused more on pleasing me than loving God by sacrificing my free time to serve my wife, my children, or others. When I have free time it often becomes me-time.
That's not always bad as we all need time to ourselves. But God reminded me this morning I need to improve by practicing denying myself. Fore that means the discipline of looking outside myself by giving more of my time and my heart, my energy to my wife and children, loving them better, giving them more of me.
What ways do you need to learn to worship God better by worshiping someone or something less?
What plan will you put into place to improve on the days and weeks to come?
