btw I love the Lord for who He is, I don't much care what He does as I know it will always be the best for me even if it's something I don't like.
Then I hope you're not planning on becoming a standup comedian.
If you want to see something really funny?
Have him explain why it was a joke, and why it's funny.
If he tries?
That will be a joke.
If you perceive Him correctly, you should love the Lord for who and what he is.
Not for what he does for you...
And I hope your job doesn't include reading comprehension.Then I hope you're not planning on becoming a standup comedian.
Read Psalm 150. We don't merely worship God for His excellent greatness. We also worship Him for His mighty works. If you are really really froggy, you might even worship Him for all His ways.
Weren't you suppose to give a compliment first?
He did. He complimented himself before posting.
So... He parted the Red Sea for you.

I never "merely" worship God at all. Our Lord was not looking forward to the Cross but he was overjoyed about being reunited with His Father. If one's love for the Lord begins with what he does for them, they will come to grief. Our praise for what He does ought to come out of our love for who He is.
Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Faith is an unmerited ability we all have.
We all have faith.
You learned from your parents as a child by faith...
You have consistently added to a question I asked. The question was simply do you worship God for the the things He has done for you? Either you do or you don't.
It was never my intention to question whether you worship God. My apologies.
Grace and peace.
The proper motivation for worshipping God per the NT is the hope of heaven/salvation.
