Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he *said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."We often find ourselves giving praise where it is not deserved. We revere leaders, and geniuses, and entrepreneurs, and relatives, but they are all inadequate beings. While some may be worthy of our respect, and all are worthy of our love, none are worthy of our worship.
We need to remember this angel, who stops John from worshiping him. He rightly points John to God, the only one who is worthy. When we find ourselves giving undue honor to someone, we need to turn to God instead and keep the focus on Him.
