“Then Jesus said to him, Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve’”, Matthew 4:10, NKJV.

When we often think about what true worship is, we think of it as physically bowing down on our knees and laying prostrate before the Lord. Yet, true worship to God is reverence to Him by bowing down in our hearts to His will for our lives. We exalt God not only by lifting our hands but we lift Him up in our hearts. As Satan did with Jesus, he will offer you the world for your priceless true worship. If he can get your worship, then either quickly or over time, he can get your entire life. 

Yet, tell Satan to get behind you! There will be no sin, entertainment, money, pleasure, or pride that you will exalt and put before the Almighty God that saved and redeemed you. He has been good to you and will always bring you into great places of victory in your life.

Receive the charge as a man to worship the Father alone in this hour.

Prayer: Father, thank You, and help me always worship You. Help me recognize if I have exalted anything in my life in worship instead of You. I will worship You as God and God alone. Jesus is King. You will remain the head of my life. Nobody but You, Father. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
