6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work (Psalm 95:6-9).
The Lord is our maker. The previous statement sets the framework for our worldview. The way we view the world is predicated upon whether we view the Lord as our maker. The worldview that we have, in turn, affects all aspects of our thoughts, conduct, energies and outlook. When we kneel before God as our maker, we are His people. God’s people hear His voice and follow. The danger in having a worldview that fails to acknowledge God as a maker cannot be overstated. Effectively, holding a worldview that does not hold God as maker causes the individual to be an enemy of God. Scripture warns that we should not harden our heart to God and His word. This warning is for our benefit, so that we might turn to God and be saved.
