SUGGESTION #4
Just Do It Anyways
Our worship is faith-based and based on the truth of who God is and what He's done for us. Not our feelings. "Without Faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Heb 11:6) We choose to believe God is who He says He is even when our human eyes or emotions might lead us to doubt. We don't see the big picture yet, but He is a good God even on our bad days!
RIGHT FEELINGS FOLLOW RIGHT ACTIONS
To love a person or love God (worship) are both decisions we make. A couple getting married might feel warm and tingly about it that day but they will not forever - even in the greatest marriage. Instead, there are days when they stand not on goosebumps and spine-tingles but on commitment that goes deeper than the feelings of the moment. A choice. A decision to act in a loving way towards the other.
Surprisingly, when you act out even 'cold' decision-based love the feelings often actually follow even if they did not proceed. Your investment helps pull you back in as well as bless the recipient.
We act on what's right first and then we begin to FEEL like it. (Psalms 103:1-2 “Praise the Lord” I TELL MYSELF with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. “Praise the Lord” I TELL MYSELF and never forget the good things He does for me!)
Not feeling it? That's okay. Kick your own butt into gear though. A sacrifice of praise to the God who we know, in faith, is worthy of our lavish love. Do it anyways - You'll get there!
