Psalm 95:6-7: “Oh come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! For he is our God, and we are the sheep of his hand.”
Each day, we get to make a choice as to who or what we will worship. What do you think about more than anything? Where do you spend the most time? What are the greatest sources of your anxiety or fear? What brings you the most joy?
The answers to these questions will quickly reveal what you worship. Throughout Psalm 95, the psalmist reminds us that God alone is worthy of our worship and adoration. He calls us to come wholeheartedly before him, to recognize that all that we have and all that we are come from him. He is our maker!
Who are we? We are his people. As in many other passages of Scripture, we are likened to his sheep. As sheep, we acknowledge that we need the Lord’s guidance, protection and provision.
This Lenten season, let’s allow God to examine our choices of who and what we worship. May we repent of our idols and return wholeheartedly to the Lord. Let’s make the choice to bow before him alone.
