What if we didn't worship God? What if simply didn't worship Him? Man thinks he is so important in the plan of God. Indeed he can be since God sent His Son into the world to redeem man. So, man must be very important to God. However, John the Baptist made sure the Pharisees and the religious leaders of the day understood their place (and that of all men). Note his words below:
Matthew 3:9
... and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘ We have Abraham for our father ’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
God can raise up, from stones, someone to praise and worship Him. That verse puts all of our praise, worship and commitment into perspective. God does not "need" us to complete Him. No, we need God. God can take a mere stone and create a worshiper for Him and to Him. As religious people we tend to think we are an intregal part of God's plan and God's worship system. We are!! God's didn't send His Son to defeat sin for any other reason than to bring us into the act of worship. But, don't allow that thought to cause us to forget that God can take a mere stone to make a great worshipper. Our worship of God is a natural response to His work in our lives in redemption. But, our pride that sneaks into our worship is unfounded. If we don't worship in the right attitude of humility we might as well move aside for the next rock that He will convert to a worshipper.
