Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people's worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.
Observation
Herod has just sentenced soldiers to death for Peters angelic escape. He executed James. And the angel of the Lord struck him to death because he accepted worship that was rightly God's. It reminds me of why Lucifer fell, wanting to be like the most high.
Application
I need to be careful when people thank me for ministry, or somehow think that I have done something by myself. I need to direct people to Jesus, the only one who is worthy of worship.
Prayer
Lord, I am your servant. Please help me to be a worshipper, and to always be very careful to give You the glory. You ALONE are worthy. Amen
