In the New Testament, God commands us that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, not only in Heaven, but on earth as well, acknowledging with bodies and tongues that Jesus Christ is Lord.
"Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place
and gave Him the Name that is above every name,
that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in Heaven and on earth, and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."
Philippians 2:9-11 (NIV)
Kneeling before God's not only shows our obedience, respect, and honour to Him, but also compels us to focus our attention completely on Him, not on ourselves or our surroundings.
