Psalm 96:4-5 New International Version
4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
We are all worshipers. We are worshiping something. As Christians, we claim to worship God. However, if we look at our screen time, we might find that most of our time is focused on things that are not of God. We might worry and think about money, fame or security.
We need to redirect our worship to God.
Psalm 96:4-5 ESV
[4] For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. [5] For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
The Psalmist cries out to the people that our pursuits outside of God are worthless. If we continue to worship false gods or worthless idols, our souls will be focused on the wrong things.
It might seem strange in modern times that we pursue false gods or idols, but we often do. Those idols are what we put our trust in. We often put our trust in things that are not trustworthy or eternal. Economies collapse, jobs disappear, health fails, beauty fades, and people betray. It is only God who prevails.
It is God who created everything. He created the heavens; there is nothing he cannot do. Yet, God still cares for his creation. He knows what our needs and the injustice against us and others are.
We can rest knowing that our lives in the hands of God. We should then give our focus to God. and give praise to God who gives us life and who created everything. God deserves our praise, worship, and attention.
When we focus on the world, we will never keep up to the high standards of the world. We will fall into anxiety as we fall further and further behind the demands of the world.
Look at all of God's creation and give Him praise. Acknowledge Him and all he has done. Praise him despite your worldly circumstances and know God is Lord of all.
