How do we know that God desires worship from the heart?

Answered in 1 source

God desires worship from the heart as indicated in Proverbs 15:8, where the prayer of the upright delights Him.

The Scriptures indicate that God values the intention behind worship more than the rituals performed. In Proverbs 15:8, it states that the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight, showing that God looks at the heart. Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their hypocrisy in Matthew 15, where He declared their worship empty because it lacked true devotion. This highlights that God seeks those who worship Him in spirit and truth, underlining the importance of a sincere heart in our approach to worship.
