Todays' Devotional: Worship Is Good To The Last Drop!

Worship That Satisfies

Our ultimate fulfillment is found only in the presence of our heavenly Father.

Romans 1:21-32; Romans 2:1-4

Did you know the Lord created you to worship Him? Many people dedicate their life to worshiping money, popularity, accomplishment, or pleasure but ultimately still feel a vacuum of unfulfillment. 

King Solomon observed this longing in mankind, writing that God “set eternity in [our] heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). And hundreds of years later, Jesus Himself confirmed this truth when He said, “Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life” (John 4:14). Why, you wonder? It’s all because the Lord wants a personal relationship with us.

Unfortunately, we often indulge in sin rather than worship God, and in the first chapter of Romans, Paul surveys the many lesser gods we settle for. He wanted the Romans to know that sin and false gods distract us from our eternal calling of communion with the Father. That’s why repentance is a critical practice in the believer’s life.

Remember, our heavenly Father designed us to find satisfaction in Him alone. And because of His great love for the whole world, He doesn’t want anyone to spend eternity without Him (2 Peter 3:9).
