Obedience is the highest form of worship?

This has been said many times throughout history. However, I disagree. Worship doesn't require obedience.

I tell you what does require obedience..... PRAISE....Praise is incomplete without obedience.

Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

Just how empty is praise without obedience? Such a humbling fact lost on many......

Do you affirm or deny that the God of Israel gave instructions for the Israelites to obey in regard to how to worship Him?

Jesus/God told us.

Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Notice how Jesus CHANGES what is required....

The hour is coming.....(It had never been at this point)......

I suppose you enjoy your ritual.

The reason I said what I said about "worship" is because of how sinners can actually worship God and please Him....

Luk 7:37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Luk 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Broken people worship God....

The perfecting of praise requires obedience and is an ongoing process in our lives. We struggle to praise Him fully.
 
I would say sacrificial obedience is the highest form of worship:

and will not cause to ascend unto Yahweh my God, offerings that have cost me nothing. (2 Sam. 24:24 ROT)
