Scripture to Read: Psalm 95:6
God led David to challenge us to see Him for Who He is as our God, Creator, and King and that He is above all. But since we are only examining a verse or two a day, we get to dive into each verse a little deeper. God’s Word says in Psalm 95:6, “Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” As we examine this verse, we are given this incredible invitation to worship, bow down, and kneel before our Lord, reminding us again that He is our Maker/Creator. To bow and kneel before our Lord is a great way of humbling ourselves before Him. We live in a time where humility is seen less and less. People today want to be noticed and recognized even for routine activities and tasks. People want the accolades, the praise, the followers on their social media accounts, and few are proclaiming the God that created them. God desires our hearts to be fully surrendered to Him and to realize we would be nothing or have nothing apart from Him. When we choose to come and worship Him, our eyes are opened to the fullness of Who He is, and our attitude is transformed from being “me-centered” to being fully focused on God, His Word, and walking in the fullness of what He has already planned for us to walk in that day. Even if we may not be physically able to bow or kneel, we must all come with a humble heart to worship our Lord well.
