The ancient British before the coming of the Romans worshiped the oak and the mistletoe and the girls are fascinated so we are trying to find out if it is all that....rather impressive so far. I think the amazing thing about it all is that God made things good enough to impress people so much they just worship the stuff.
Psalm 8:3...Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Psa 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psa 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Psa 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
Psa 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
Psa 8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
Psa 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! "
If it's that easy to worship an oak tree and mistletoe, I am sure it's even easier to worship a human being. But, Oh, the glory of the one who made it all! Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings he has ordained strength, how simple yet how so complex, and kids get it! He alone is worthy of all praise and honor and thanksgiving.
To the Only God our Father, and to Jesus Christ Our Lord, be glory and majesty, dominion and authority forever. Angels turn away when you try to worship them; there is something in the heart of a human being that repels worship. Even the Holy Ghost slips away when you begin to exalt Him, and points you to Jesus.
