Why does worship feel dull? Are we going to a worship service and saying, “Meh, I don’t feel God…whatever.” Do we feel agitated a lot of the time? Irritable, crabby, negative? Let’s snap out of it! Let’s shake off the mundane, robotic execution of our busy lives and realized the glorious majesty of God again!
There’s nothing like stopping the madness and recalibrating our focus by checking out what God has done, Who He is, His endless perfection in everything. It’s a guaranteed brain enhancer. Oh yeah!
Here’s the deal, we were all made to worship God….to be loved and love back. (Eph 1:11 & 12) It’s in our DNA. It really is! So when we’ve gotten in that slump where we let this thing become way down the list of priorities, we won’t be operating with our natural fuel.
Here’s some tips to get us jump-started.
*Go outside and find a pretty flower. Get really close to that thing and try to make out the details of it, ya know, just kinda get lost in it. Then consider that HE designed all of that, right down to the detail, because He likes it, AND put it here for us to enjoy too.
*Follow and Instagramer who takes beautiful photos of nature all over the world. (There are many to choose from) Just look at some of those photos and realize the majesty of God in His creation.
*Think of the most horrific thing you know about yourself. Maybe something you did or thought of doing. Now think of the fact that this flawless Father already knows about that thing, (On a deeper level than you do, I might add), and loves you more than you’ve ever loved anything or anyone.

There’s so many things we can be intentional with to refocus onto the enormous, royal, perfect, shining love that is God. From here, let’s turn our affections toward Him and worship all the time…every day…a lot! Our whole being will come back into alignment with how we are wonderfully made and everything else will fall into place under that fact. He is so worth it, and so are you!
