What Is and What Hasn’t

God neither needs nor desires praise, worship, or adoration for being eternal or almighty. The constant  attributes of being self-existent, omniscient, omnipresent and all that stuff does NOT make Him special. For we, as we are also the One, share those attributes with Him. Yes, we do not in this ignorance know the attributes, but they are, unbeknownst to us, ours.

“I neither give my glory to others, nor to sculpted idols” (Isaiah 42:8 Alexander) is true. But we are not “others,” like dumb idols; we are Him!

What God DOES desire praise, worship, and adoration for are His accomplishments. What He does. He is a Father to us. He sent us, provides for us. He heals us. He makes all things work together for our good. He makes us reconciled to Himself. There is much of what He has done, and of what He hasn’t done yet, to celebrate, to rejoice in Him always. Celebrate it all.
