Made 2 Worship


What does that even mean? We were MADE to worship? Doesn't that imply we're like robots that have no other choice? When my mom MAKES me clean my room and do my homework I feel enslaved, not empowered.
The great thing is that with worship, we are given the choice. We can worship whatever we want to. Many people choose to worship money, popularity, status, and other 'stuff.' In Matthew 6:21, Jesus says, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." What he's saying is, whatever you find most valuable is what you worship. Where is your treasure?
We have the ability to make a choice to worship our creator. Through this worship, we are freed to enjoy all the other "things" in life without them taking us over. Later in Matthew 6, Jesus says "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be given to you." We are MADE to worship. WHAT we worship is our choice.
