This question is one of
the top 5 questions I am asked. “What do
you do when you don’t feel like worshipping?”
Well, I still worship.
I have to. If I
worshipped God based upon my newest emotion, I would rarely worship. If I could only worship what I felt, when I felt it, I
would most always be worshipping myself.
It’s a lesson I re-learn
on a weekly basis: God is worthy of worship, whether I feel like it or not.
His worth-ness, His
deserving-ness never changes. He is always worthy. He is always good. He is
always powerful. He is always God. Always.
Therefore, my praise and
my worship and my allegiance is to be never wavering either.

What do I do when I
don’t feel like worshipping? I still worship, because God’s worthiness hasn’t
changed.
Plus, it serves to be a
whole different experience of worship than when I do feel like it. It gives me a chance to be honest, open and
exposed before God. I can say things like, “God, I am way too exhausted to make
this happen. But I know you’re good. I have nothing left to give, but I know
you are still in control. I am angry, frustrated, upset, and confused about what
is going on in my life right now, but I know that you still love me. Oh how you
love me.”
That, my friends, is the
most real and insecure form of worship.
But He is still worthy.
He is so worthy.
So we do it.
*What season of life are
you in? Are you in the season of worship that you can feel? Excitement that
motivates your song?
*Or are you in the
season of complete and utter despair. You can’t even think about singing of the
goodness of God because you don’t see it in your life…yet.
*Or maybe you're in between.
It’s ok. All of them are ok. But we're in this thing together. So
Love,
