Malachi 1:6-14
Jeremiah 17:9-10
Psalm 139:23-24
Romans 12:1-2
Exodus 15:11
- We should not live our lives in complacency and wastage
- God does not look at our outlook expression but inward reverence
- Outlook expression does not always represents our inward devotion
In the midst of our praise and worship, where is the Reverence?
- God is not pleased that He wants to close the temple door
- God is not pleased in our offering that is just mere ritual
- Ritual without reverence is not accepted
Symptoms of inreverence :
- Painless worship
- Thoughtless worship (Malachi 1:8-9)
- Contemptuous worship (Malachi 1:12-13)
- Hypocritical worship (Malachi 1:14)
Their perspective of God have shifted :
(1) "Give Me" god
(2) "Grandfather" god
(3) "Hot Hub" god
(4) "Jello" god
(5) "Junior Executive" god
He is God, the God Almighty
Reverence is the loving, sincere, recognition of the greatness of God
