If an all-knowing God can read your mind, so why does he require you to demonstrate your faith by worshiping him?

It's not about proving yourself to Him. It's about having a correct relationship with our Maker.

Let me use an example from marriage. I love my wife because I find her to be wonderful, and a wonderful partner for me. I don't love her to prove I'm her husband.

The more we can come to know God, the more we will see the fullness of His love, and we will come to love Him more. Worship is a way we can express our love for God, and our appreciation for Who He Is. Worship is where our hearts bubble over with wonder and desire and awe towards the One Whom we've come to see as being infinitely above all else.

Much love!

So why do so many people who love and worship God live hungry, cold and sickly lives?

Hello Faithsone,
It seems to me that the Apostles of Christ had it allot tougher than we, but they were willing to lay their lives down for Him, and they did. They went through so many trials.
Look at the Christians in poor countries, they praise and worship Him for the smallest of things and far as I am concerned, they have much stronger faith than us in the rich Western countries. We take so very much for granted. He is WORTHY TO be praised, and worshipped simply because He willingly died for our sins. We are to be grateful for ALL good things as they ALL come from His hand. It's amazing how little one can live with. We on the U.S. are so spoiled and think they do not need God in their lives as, they are their own god's.
Faith, true faith...believing without seeing. His ways are so very high, the human mind cannot even conceive of it!
God Bless!
