We live in a time and age where people are less concerned about the source of where things come from. They'll rather just sit and enjoy a load of blessing and wouldn't care about who gives them. Most people don't really care how you get stuff, it's only important that you have possessions of some sort.
Many churches teach that when the praises go up, the blessings come down. Yeah!! Indirectly many minds have been shaped to only praise when blessings are desired which is not supposed to be. The more hurting part is that when we eventually get the blessings that we so praised God for, our hearts are turned from God and we do not acknowledge His sovereignty. We begin to think that the things that we have acquired is because of our strength.
Our focus instead of constantly remaining of God, shutters between being on ourselves and on the blessings that we have.

Matthew 2:2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod,Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Now it is stunning how the wise men were able to recognize the star but the even more amazing part is that they take a step further and look for the new born King. Very often we see the star but we 'don't have time' to search for the King. We see His works but we could care less about Him personally.
We gain from the light that He bestows on us but we are not willing to look for Him to worship Him with our lives. We live our lives so focused on the blessings that we have been given so much that we eventually begin to worship them. We reduce ourselves to the level of worshiping the things that are supposed to be additions. We abandon the King, and worship His provisions.


Let's check ourselves, and what exactly we are worshiping.
Our primary essence of existence is to worship God, let that be a check for all of our thoughts and actions.

Have a blessed week!
