worship what you know

We seem to have a capacity and a need to worship.  I think we're all aware that there are larger forces than we control ourselves, or that even large groups of people control.  We know that people didn't fashion mountains or sculpt valleys.  But the interesting thing is that we will settle sometimes for the worship of things that we can't have a relationship with.  A friend of mine once said, "Why would you ever love something that can't love you back?"  I thought that was very profound.  When Jesus was conversing with the Samaritan woman of John chapter 4 He said to her: (verse 22) "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews."  What or whom are you worshiping?  Are you like the Samaritan woman who talks about worship in some abstract way...or do you worship the One who can be known, as He knows you?
