Observation: When Man Worships Man Over God

by Asherah Alexandria Tsarine

God wants you to recognize & thank Him for your success, health, wealth and happiness.

When man worships man instead of God, the problem arises because it shifts focus from the divine to the human, leading to several spiritual and moral issues:

  • Idolatry: Prioritizing human achievements or figures over God can lead to idolizing flawed, finite beings rather than the perfect, infinite divine. This misplaced reverence can distort values and priorities, leading to spiritual emptiness.
  • Moral Decline: Human-centered worship may promote self-interest, pride, and ego, potentially leading to ethical compromises and moral decay. Without divine guidance, ethical boundaries become blurred, and self-serving behaviors can take precedence.
  • Loss of Purpose: Diverting worship from God can create a void in spiritual fulfillment, causing confusion about one's true purpose and place in the universe. People may struggle to find meaning and direction without a higher power to anchor their lives.
  • False Sense of Security: Relying on human abilities or institutions instead of divine guidance can lead to a false sense of security, as humans are fallible and limited. This misplaced trust can result in disappointment and disillusionment when human efforts fail.

By focusing worship on God, individuals align themselves with eternal, unchanging principles, fostering true spiritual growth, moral integrity, and a deeper sense of purpose. This divine focus cultivates humility, gratitude, and a commitment to living according to God’s will.

Reflecting on discernment, I reviewed posts on X.com. Like many, I admire Elon Musk’s achievements but often wonder if he thanks God for his discernment and success. During my Spiritual Awakening, I learned about Elon’s profound Spiritual Awakening experiences, which led him to create successful companies and the looks of his social media account and Followers replies, he is indeed worshipped by many.

As a business owner myself, I would enjoy seeing corporate icons such as Elon and others openly and publicly thank God for their insight and success both professionally and personally, without alienating those followers or customers that may not believe in God.  It's clear for my perspective that God has much to do with Elon's success, so praising Him would draw in Believers that much more perhaps even increase sales (although publicly acknowledging God is strictly out of humility, not marketing).

To keep the focus on God amid corporate or celebrity success, individuals can:

  • Practice Humility: Acknowledge that all talents and opportunities come from God, avoiding pride and self-exaltation. This recognition helps maintain a grounded perspective and fosters a spirit of gratitude.
  • Regular Prayer and Meditation: Maintain a strong, personal relationship with God through daily prayer and meditation. This practice keeps spiritual priorities in check and reinforces reliance on divine wisdom.
  • Service and Giving: Use success to serve others and support charitable causes, reflecting God’s love and generosity. Acts of service and philanthropy demonstrate a commitment to God’s teachings and help uplift communities.
  • Ethical Conduct: Adhere to moral and ethical principles in all business dealings, exemplifying integrity. Ethical behavior aligns with divine commandments and builds trust and respect in professional relationships.
  • Public Testimony: Openly share how faith in God has influenced and sustained personal and professional achievements. Public acknowledgment of God’s role can inspire others to seek a closer relationship with the divine and recognize the source of true success.

This approach can serve as a valuable guide for Elon and others like him, ensuring that their achievements are grounded in a divine purpose and contribute positively to society.
