"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before
the Lord our
maker." Psalm 95:6
To bow before someone or
something is an act of worship, adoration, submission or reverence. The verse
above it is talking about bowing to the Lord. But the Lord is not the only one
we can bow our knee to. The Israelites were constantly bowing their knee to
Baal and other false gods as well as to the Lord.
Who or what are you bowing your
knee to? What are you worshipping? Are you bowing it to God alone or other
things besides Him? Are you "floundering" in your bowing-- bowing to Him for a
while, then to some other thing for a while, then back and forth between the
two?
You may say that you aren't
bowing your knee to anything but God. Let's see. You can bow your knee to the
god of entertainment by setting in front of the television or computer games for
longer than you spend time with the Lord. What about bowing your knee to
gluttony? Are you bowing your knee to pride- always having to be seen and
acknowledged? Are you bowing your knee to self-will? Are you bowing your knee
to the demands of others, placing them above your relationship with
God?
There are many things out there
that we can bow our knee to in submission and worship that are "false gods".
When we do, it is taking our worship from the One who alone is worthy of it.
Have a great day. What are you
bowing your knee to?
