[White / Black / Aboriginal / Male / Female] Privilege

We're all rather privileged.

Well, that's what the Bible informs me as such.

God gave them (The Israelites) the privilege of worshiping him and receiving his wonderful promises.

Romans 9:4 NLT

It's a privlege to be given the capacity to worship the ultimate reality, the ultimate Being.

How do you define worship?
To venerate, to admire, to direct your thoughts and actions to that object or person as due respect and honour.

Archbishop William Temple describes it as: "Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose—all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable."

You see, true worship, worship directed to that which it is owed or due, is a spiritual experience.

Worship, true worship, as opposed to a perversion of worship, is like perhaps skydiving or seeing the birth of your child. I can describe it, but nothing can replicate the experience.

Why would God have us do such a purportedly egotistical thing?

He doesn't. If you re read Temple's defintion, true worship is the purifying of yourself, becuase you are directing your mind, body, heart, soul, strength, eye, towards that which is Pure, is True, is Holy and Perfect - your Perfect Heavenly Father Creator.

It is here that i read :

"..what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor."

Psalms 8:4‭-‬5 NLT

Worship is baked into our very being, becuase it is an essential aspect to God.

What a privilege us white, middleage, cisgender men have...or any other person regardless of what physical or immaterial identities they may have or believe they have
