Revelation 19: 9 -10

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ And the angel said to me, “These are true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down and worshiped at the angel’s feet, but the angel said to me, “You must not do that! I am a servant along with you and your comrades who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” 

“Worship God!” Well, isn’t that what I do? But not angels. Is that it? Do I do that? Maybe I do need to think about that.  With all the angels in Revelation (or angel imagery as a commentary says), we may be surprised to read, “I am a servant along with you and your comrades.” 

God alone is worthy of worship.  What may I be worshiping without really being aware of it? Some of my role models? My spouse/partner/friend? Habits? Power over others? This certainly does provide me with some challenges about my relationship with God and with other things.
       
May we all be blessed by the study of God’s word, personally and with others.
