Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'"
Luke 4:8
Worship is not just an activity carried out for a few minutes, consisting of music and prayers telling God of how great he is.
Worship is a lifestyle.
The devil tried to bargain with Jesus saying that if he worshipped him, he would grant him authority over all the kingdoms of the world. Imagine that? Trying to bargain with the Creator of the universe.
True identity aside, Jesus knew that worshipping the devil was definitely never an option. Because he knew that worship was a lifestyle. It consisted of glorifying God by living a holy and obedient life. Worshipping the devil was like becoming obedient to him.
Jesus knew this and stood his ground. He not only knew the Scripture (which can be found in Deuteronomy 6:13) but he believed in it and lived by it. It's not good enough to only know God's word; it must be our lifestyle too.
Worship and serve God alone. The things of this world may seem tempting but they will perish. God's word however will always stand. Let your life reflect and glorify Him.
Stay blessed and stay a blessing
