”Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.” Psalm 95:6-7

Why do we worship the Lord God? We worship and bow down – we kneel before the Lord – because He is our Maker and we are His Creation – We are His people and the sheep of His hand.

So often, it seems, we forget this truth and imagine that we are our own, that we exist and have life apart from God, but this could not be further from the truth. It is as St. Paul said to the Athenians: “In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

We worship You, O Lord, we bow before You, for You have made us and given us life, and You have redeemed us that we might have pardon and peace and live for You. Amen,
