Num. 15 [The Message]
At the very heart of worship is the desire to please God rather than self. In essence, you can say pleasing self above God is worshiping self.
God KNOWS what pleases Him, and He has spelled it out in His Word. As we become apt students of His Word, we take big steps in worshiping Him and being obedient to His call upon our lives.
When one asks this question of self … “Am I doing this to please myself, or to please God?” … one is making strides in the right direction. The power to actually follow-thru and DO the right thing relies upon God’s grace … “Him working in us both to will and do of His Good Pleasure.” [Phil. 2:13]
