Guidance and Worship

What are we really without God? His guidance is what drives us to be the people we have become and are going to be. His compassionate teachings show us how to live and love. The dude is seriously awesome! This "creature" lesson was very interesting because it looks at things from a different perspective, figuring out why what we believe is truth.
The phrase "God is his end" really struck me because it points out that we are not the purpose of our lives, but living for God is.. Which gets me thinking about why we do the crazy things we do on earth if in the end we know it's all about God, if he's our end goal then why do we spend so much more time worrying about short term earthly things instead of enjoying the splendor and joy of the King. It's madness is what it is.
The second scriptural note is awesome as it asks who can take the Lords place, well of course anyone who is clean and perfect is welcome to. I picture a scene where He's standing there asking who will take His seat, asking "anyone? anyone at all?" And then the awesome thing is that even though we aren't clean and we do sin we can still be cleaned by the one who is in the throne and through his guidance can conquer this enemy known as sin!

Worship is such an amazing thing because we can come before an almighty God and acknowledge how amazing he is, and thank Him for the wonderful works that He done for us undeserving people. When I think of worship I tend to think of guitars and singing but how true is it that we can worship no matter what? Even just being out on the water we can be constantly worshiping through giving Him our time and our hands. Every counter cleaned and every sandwich made can be an act of worship if we put ourselves in a place of love and open mindedness to Gods glory.
I love the "if Jesus is our leader" quotes because there are so many things that fit into that sentence. Certainly this act of worship is the least of the things that should be expected in response to His word and love. We should be pouring ourselves out in response which in itself is an act of worship.
