Satan wants our worship

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” (Matthew 4:8-10 ESV)

The temptation of Jesus is a powerful passage of scripture.  Tonight I want to really focus on that which Satan is after above all else...He wants to be WORSHIPPED.  We can not worship 2 things, we are either for God or against Him.  This being said, we should be taking a close inventory of our heart.  What does our WORSHIP of God look like?  Are we putting Him first, can we look inward and say "God is who I worship and no other!"  There can be nothing more important in our lives than God and He deserves, He demands our worship.  Time, money, effort, energy, talent, it was all given to us by God, and He wants us to use it all to glorify Him and no other.

Jesus' response " Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’” Is amazing.  Let us go forth and worship God alone!
