Brothers and sisters, God does not demand worship because of His need; rather, true worship is prescribed for man’s benefit. Serving God will result in humanity’s greatest happiness (Solomon concluded such in Ecclesiastes 12:13). There is a vital connection between genuine worship and character of life (see Romans 1:18-32). When men turn away from genuine devotion to the true God, all sorts of vileness and discontent ensues (Proverbs 13:15). God wants people to come before Him in a spirit of reverence to offer praise out of a life lived in submission to His will.
