Worthless Worship

I will meditate on your precepts and think about your ways I will meditate on your precepts and think about your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. Psalm 119:15–16 CSB

“A son honors his father, and a servant his master “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. But if I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master... Malachi 1:6 CSB

...where is your fear of me? says the Lord of Armies to you priests, who despise my name.” Yet you ask: “How have we despised your name?” Malachi 1:6 CSB

Yahweh Sabaoth means God of hosts.

“A son honors his father, and a servant his master “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. But if I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is your fear of me?... Malachi 1:6–8 CSB

says the Lord of Armies to you priests, who despise my name ...says the Lord of Armies to you priests, who despise my name.” Yet you ask: “How have we despised your name? By presenting defiled food on my altar... Malachi 1:6–8 CSB

How have we defiled you. ” you ask ...How have we defiled you?” you ask. When you say: “The Lord’s table is contemptible. When you present a blind animal for sacrifice, is it not wrong?... Malachi 1:6–8 CSB

And when you present a lame or sick animal, is it not wrong ...And when you present a lame or sick animal, is it not wrong? Bring it to your governor! Would he be pleased with you or show you favor?” asks the Lord of Armies. Malachi 1:6–8 CSB

The Problem: Religious rituals are no substitute for genuine worship

Genuine worship is when we respond to God’s actions and character with the first and best of our lives.

“And now plead for God’s favor. Will he be gracious to us “And now plead for God’s favor. Will he be gracious to us? Since this has come from your hands, will he show any of you favor?” asks the Lord of Armies. “I wish one of you would shut the temple doors... Malachi 1:9–10 CSB

so that you would no longer kindle a useless fire on my altar ...so that you would no longer kindle a useless fire on my altar! I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord of Armies, “and I will accept no offering from your hands. Malachi 1:9–10 CSB

"The point is clear: Empty religious formalism does not impress the Lord, nor does it bring blessing or satisfaction to those who engage in it." - Eugene Merrill

The Solution: Worship God with your first and best.

“My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting... Malachi 1:11 CSB

...Incense and pure offerings will be presented in my name in every place because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord of Armies. Malachi 1:11 CSB

The Question: Am I demonstrating that I honor and fear God in the way I worship him by giving him my first and best?
