Evidence for the Creator: Worship

"Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship." ~DAVID FOSTER WALLACE

There is a need, in the psyche of man, to esteem, and yes, worship, something or someone he admires, respects, and/or fears.

This worship can be directed towards an actual individual, a fantasy, a projection, an idea, or even himself.

"Man ceases to be a worshipper of God only because he has become a worshipper of himself. Estranged from God he finds no nobler object of worship than the strongest man."  ~WILLIAM GOODELL

This 'need' is evidence that the Creator instilled it in us, to be rightfully directed toward the only worthy object of worship:

'The Creator, Himself'

All other objects are counterfeits.. usurpers to the Creator, who is the only One deserving of that position.

Yet the history of humanity is a tragic story of human beings trying to evade their Creator, and give their worship to ANYTHING, or anyone, rather than the Almighty Creator of the universe. 

"Those who set up a fictitious worship, merely worship and adore their own delirious fancies; indeed, they would never dare so to trifle with God, had they not previously fashioned him after their own childish conceits."  ~JOHN CALVIN

The pinnacle of human folly is when a mortal man takes for himself, that which was made for his Maker. He becomes a fool, worshipping his own delusion.. his own imagination. He ignores his own weakness and mortality, and pretends he is God, and that he made himself.

"To love his maker, for he was SELF-MADE!

Self-made, self-trained, self-willed, self-satisfied,

He was himself, his daily boast and pride." ~William Allen Butler, 1858

Don't be a deluded fool who worships himself. That instinctive need is properly given to One, only. The Creator alone is worthy of our complete love, devotion, fear, and worship.

It is a Great Tragedy, when a mortal man, created in the image of God, turns his back on his Maker, and worships the weak and absurd. He worships the created, not the Creator. 

"With their backs to the sunrise they worship the night."  ~ROBERT G. INGERSOLL

"They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator.."

"Professing to be wise, they became fools."  ~ Paul
