WORSHIP! or worship?

Have you ever found yourself bored with the worship at your church? Maybe it's because the songs are all new and all you do is "hmh hmh hmh..... God... hmh hmh hmh hmh..... Loves us.... hmh" cause you can only catch a few words. Or maybe its because its all the old songs that you thought were so last month. And then there are just those bad days where the being at the church worshipping is the last place you want to be. I have been there and done that, but until those awesome worship experiences are taken away from you, you don't realize what an impact they have on you. Last night i was laying on the couch, fooling around with my sisters Ipod when I came across the Hillsong's playlist. I suddenly started having withdrawals of the worship we have Sunday nights at youth group. The loud music, the powerful and true lyrics, and the room where no one is there to judge but instead to be there worshipping the Lord. I wanted to start jumping up and down and praise God. Youth Group has been canceled for the last couple weeks and I missed it but after realizing that my bad attitude was affecting everyone around me, I finally realized I missed the time with God I usually had on a weekly basis. God is always there and allot of people take advantage of that. I know I did and didn't realize it until the devil started taking advantage of the "breaks" I had away from God. Now, camp is at the end of the week and I can't wait to start feeding my extreme hunger for the Lord but what I realized last night is that we can't depend on the church to spoon feed us the Word but we need to do it ourselves and make our relationship grow. "Highs" are great but they are pointless unless you follow through and continue living your life with God at your side. So next time worship is just something your doing cause everyone else is, take a step back, think about the words your saying and realize the power of God through them.
