Delphic Maxim #3 Worship the Gods

This one again is very similar to Delphic Maxim #1 , which is Follow God. While I believe it is vital for us to gain a  connection to the Gods , there is a lot of stigma within the Pagan community whether to use the word "worship" as it denotes oppression or submission. While in some religious cultures it will mean that and even in christianity the famous Commandment : "Thou shalt not have any other Gods before Me" is a very hard "submissive commandment in my opinion, yet it is the commandment of the Christian Bible and I respect that , if you are Christian then by all means obey that commandment or whatever you see fit according to your beliefs and religious standing. Yet what I believe to be the meaning of this maxim is to be in connection with them on a spiritual level. Be with them, in their presence, acknowledge them. Some Gods and or Goddesses you may not have a deep connection, but at least acknowledge them in some form, by offering a  prayer of thanks...
