\"Revere
\nGod deserves our honor and praise because He is the Lord of lords (1 Tim. 6:15)<\/span>, fully worthy of our all. We revere Him as Lord, aligning our lives with Him<\/a>, because of who He is.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging Who God is Leads to Revering Him as Lord<\/h2>\n

God is our Maker<\/strong><\/em> so “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker” (Ps. 95:6). As the Potter, He has complete rights to gift us and use us as He wills (Rom. 9:20-21). When we complain, it’s like we’re suggesting He doesn’t know what He’s doing. We revere Him as Lord for His sovereignty when we bow before Him, accepting His design for us.<\/p>\n

He is our Shepherd<\/strong><\/em> “for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care” (Ps. 95:7). He leads us in ways that are for our good, protecting and providing for us along the way (Ps. 23; Jer. 29:11). When we’re anxious and fear, it’s like we’re suggesting that He isn’t capable and loving enough to look out for our welfare. We revere Him as Lord for His faithfulness and lovingkindness when we bow before Him, depending on Him to sovereignly guide the way.<\/p>\n

God is also our King<\/strong><\/em>. As our Leader, He is our absolute Standard. We move under His banner into victory. When we allow anyone or anything else to dictate what we do, defecting from His rule, it’s like we’re suggesting that His ways are not higher, that He isn’t always right. We revere Him as Lord when we bow before Him, acknowledging Him as “God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords” (1 Tim. 6:15).<\/p>\n
