How Must We Worship God?

The Scriptures are quite clear in teaching that God desires worshippers, but not just any worship will do. Yet we are creatures prone to worshipping falsely, and our hearts quickly grow cold. The tendency we have is to offer worship on our own terms, believing that God is required to accept whatever worship we come to Him with. In this psalm, Asaph sets the record straight. Ultimately, he reveals that we must come to worship God in light of who He is as the righteous Judge of all the earth, and that requires we continually come before Him with a pure and contrite heart.
