What Do Feelings Have To Do With It?
So this is my first blog and its fitting that I do it about worship.
As a worship pastor I get all types of excuses as to why people aren't going to sing, play or dance on any particular day. Today it was, "oh, I need to leave to get a haircut" lol and "my feet hurt" (that one was new) but most often what I hear is that "I don't feel like it".
The Psalmist David said, "Praise the Lord, my soul;all my inmost being, praise his holy name."
It was a command that he gave to himself.
We live in times where all we hear is, "If it feels right, it has to be right" or "Follow your heart, it'll never steer you wrong". We are so accustomed to allowing ourselves to be led by our emotions that we rob ourselves from blessings that are just beyond our feelings.
The Israelites felt like going to back to Egypt when things got tough in the desert. Yet because they pushed on beyond that they reached the promise land.
So next time you don't feel like worshipping as yourself... what do feelings have to do with you?
Because the answer will always be... Nothing!
Praise because God deserves your praise, because he's been good to you, because he paid the ultimate price for you. Worship God for all he is and what he has done. And none of that has to do with you, it has to do with Him!
