"I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world if you give to me a moment of worship." This question was Satan’s attempt to swindle Jesus’ authority from Him. This is a revealing glimpse into the power and value in the action of worship.
The Devil knows that if your identity is misplaced (driven by insecurity - which is misplaced identity) your worship will be up for grabs.
Sam Brassfeild says this, "If it's not all about worship why was Satan willing to (seemingly) forfeit EVERYTHING to receive worship?"
The Devil fights so hard for your attention. Because he knows if he can have your attention he'll soon have your affection.
Because whatever you give your thoughts to, you will ultimately ascribe value to.
And what you ascribe value to you will worship.
Resting your identity in Him guards your worship for Him.
-Gabriel Allred.
