Something to think about!!!

Today I heard something that just really got me thinking pretty hard about how we worship & what that means to us!

I hear so often (and I have been guilty of it many times), worship just wasn't that great, didn't really get anything out of it. Before, I would just think, well... maybe the Holy spirit isn't moving strong today, or maybe the worship team just wasn't on their game, etc... the excuses could go on & on!

But really we have to ask ourselves, what is worship? Worship isn't just a time on Sunday morning that we anticipate the Holy Spirit to move & we feel connected. Woship is an expression of our love & connection to Christ! If we go all week long looking forward to Sunday morning's worship so that we can feel connected to God & then don't feel connected, maybe the real question should be.... was I in relationship with Him this week, was I connecting to Him on my own? Was I worshiping Him everyday? Did I find time to just really talk & communicate with Him?

I know in the past their have been many Sunday mornings, or even just worship services that I just have felt disconnected & then their are other times that I feel like I just couldn't feel more connected, and because worship has been such a passion of mine & been such a big part of my life ever since I was a little girl, when I wasn't "feeling it" it was really discouraging to me.... I know sometimes I would look around and say to myslef, how is it that that person is at the same church, same worship time & is really connecting to worship & I am not feeling it at all????

But knowing that worship is sooooooo much more than just Sunday mornings, or just a "hear or their" thing, knowing that you have to make it an everyday thing, and when you do that no matter where you are or how good the worship time is, you should feel the connection & expression, because you yourself have been living it daily! (trust me I am preaching to myself hear as well) :)
