Everyone is a Worshipper

I will make the statement that every human being is designed to worship. And not only are they designed to worship, they also are currently worshippers. Every single person worships something or somebody. It might be a god. It might be a job. It might be a girl. It might be a football team. It might be a talk show host. Or even the president. Please hear this: Every person worships.

Here's my simple definition of what a worshipper worships.

We worship what we can "see".

We worship what we in some ways want to be like.

We worship something that we feel has power.

We worship something that makes us feel like we are part of something bigger than ourselves.

I don't have space here to develop any of those points. So, think about them. Test them in different "arenas". Watch how people act at political rallies or sports events or concerts or even book signings.

Here's my point. Everyone is a worshipper. Everyone has a built in, God given desire to worship. But the only true, worthwhile object of our worship is Jesus Christ. So, have your worship be directed toward Him. And if someone ridicules you for your worship. Remind them that they are a worshipper too. The difference is that Jesus as our object of worship can genuinely "deliver". And the hope and encouragement is that those who are not worshipping Jesus today are primed to meet Him and turn their worship over to him. May there be a beautiful connection between the "worshipper" and the true "object of our worship".
