Principles and Practices - March 4

Why We Adore God

God immeasurably excels all creatures, even the highest and the sublimest of the heavenly spirits; He excels them not merely by His infinite dignity and perfection, but also by reason of His boundless power and dominion. Hence at all times and in all places, every creature is dependent upon God. It behoves man as a rational creature consciously and freely and actively to acknowledge his absolute dependence upon God - in a word, to adore God.

-Gihr.
