7. For he is our God. Here is the master reason
for worship. Jehovah has entered into covenant with us, and from all the
world beside has shown us to be his own elect. Happy is the person who can
sincerely believe that this sentence is true in reference to himself. And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. As he belongs to
us, so do we belong to him. And we are his as the people whom he daily feeds
and protects. Our pastures are not ours, but his; we draw all our supplies from
his stores. We are his, just as sheep belong to the shepherd, and his hand is
our rule, our guidance, our government, our succor, our source of supply.
Israel was led through the desert, and we are led through this life by “that great Shepherd of the sheep.” Can we refuse to worship and bow down when we clearly see that this
God is our God forever and ever, and will be our guide, even unto death?
