Knowing God Leads To True Worship

PSALM 95

1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods.  4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth;  The heights of the hills are His also. 5 The sea is His, for He made it;  And His hands formed the dry land. 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;  Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God,  And we are the people of His pasture,  And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness, 
9 When your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they saw My work.
10 For forty years I was grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

God is telling us in this passage He is the Lord our God. As our Lord it means He owns us, we belong to Him.  That's why He tells us in Exodus 20:5, He's  a jealous God , because even though we belong to Him, we tend to look to other things, created things and even our own abilities and human wisdom  for help in a time of need instead of Him.

Take a moment to listen to this insightful message from Pastor Art on Knowing God, True Worship and the hindrances of false idols, you'll be glad you did.
