"Draw Close to God, and He WIll Draw Close to You"- Worshiping Jehovah

When we communicate with Jehovah God, we are not simply listening and speaking as we might with a friend or relative.  We are actually worshiping Jehovah, according him to the reverent honor that he so richly deserves.  True worship is our whole life. It is how we express to Jehovah, our whole-souled love and devotion, and it unites all of Jehovah's faithful creatures, whether in heaven or on earth. In a vision, the apostle John heard an angel proclaiming this commandment: "Worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the fountains of waters." -Revelation 14:7.


Why should we worship Jehovah?  Think of the qualities we have discussed, such as holiness, power, self-restraint, justice, courage, mercy, wisdom, humility, love, compassion, loyalty, and goodness. We have seen that Jehovah represents the very pinnacle, the loftiest standard possible, of every precious attribute.  When we try to grasp the sum of his qualities, we perceive that he is far more than a great, admirable Personage.  He is overwhelmingly glorious, immeasurable higher than we are.  (Isaiah 55:9)  Without question, Jehovah is our rightful Sovereign, and he certainly deserves  our worship. How, though, should we worship Jehovah?
