Something the Lord has taught me and impressed upon my heart over the years is that worshiping Him is not about what I feel like doing. When I walk into that sanctuary to sing songs unto the Lord, I do it, not because I feel like it, but because I was created to do so. When I stand in that pew, I have a choice to make. Either I am going to lift my hands and my voice and my heart to Him because He is worthy or I am not because I would rather selfishly indulge in how I don't feel like worshiping.
Worshiping the Lord isn't about what I feel like doing. It is about bowing before the King because He is worthy of all praise. Sometimes I really feel like lifting my hands, sometimes I don't. But I lift them every time because it's all about Him and not about me!

Great word!
Well said!
I actually find that it's easier for me to worship corporately than to have an attitude of worship at all times - like in the mundane everyday ordinary stuff of life! But THAT is what I was created for - a life of continual praise, worship and adoration to a God most worthy! Oh Lord, make it be so - to worship You at all times!
BTW, did I know you had a blog? Well, I found you because you commented on Dr. Grant's site recently. I love that quote by Hodge. He posted it once before and I shared it at one of the women's prayer nights.
I'm hoping to get off my blogging sabbatical! I just started swimming laps again in preparation for a triathlon and so you should see an entry soon! :)
