Worship God His Way
It’s hard to take pleasure in a gift you don’t really like, especially if the person who gave it to you knows you don’t like it. In the same way, God doesn’t take pleasure in worship that ignores his law and mimics idolatry, especially when his people know better. And his people did know better because, as we’ve seen, they were in a covenant relationship with God, which included his law. And, as Moses reiterates the law in Deuteronomy, worship is the first thing that he addresses. Worshiping God; not their way, our way, or the world’s way; but worshiping God his way.
