Who or what we worship is a reflection of our priorities, not our religion. We worship what we think is worthy of our time, effort, and money. Malachi challenges us to first understand who God is and then make a conscious effort to worship Him with our lives. As sinful people we do not always worship God perfectly. Our failures should not cause us to stop worshiping, but rather challenge us to refocus on who God is and be more purposeful in our worship of Him.
