Song
I was just listening to the radio, and they played this song and I just loved the lyrics. It's "This is a moment made for worshipping" by Stephen Curtis Chapman. (Apparently Steven Curtis Chapman is the one who sings the best Monday songs)
6:30 Monday morning
I'm here hiding in my bed
A song plays on my alarm clock
As I cover up my head
And somewhere in the distance
I remember yesterday
Singing "Hallelujah"
Full of wonder awe and praise
But now I'm just wondering why
I don't feel anything at all
Chorus:
This is a moment made for worshiping
'Cause this is a moment I'm alive
This is a moment I was made to sing
A song of living sacrifice
For every moment that I live and breathe
This is a moment made for worshipping
...
From the rising of the sun
To the setting of the sun
The name of the Lord
Is worthy to be praised
This is brilliant: the best reason to worship God right now is that I'm alive. Sometimes I think about that, and it's weird because it's always like that thought just pops into my head out of "nowhere". It kind of takes me by surprise every time. Sometimes the pastor or somebody mature Christian says that or praises God for the fact that we're alive and I'm usually not impressed. But that's because I just cannot grasp it, just how huge that is. But when God puts that in my heart, it's just mind blowing…

I think that what CC Chapman means to say is that the best worship is the one you give when you don't feel like worshiping at all.
Our pastor says that this kind of worship is a "sacrifice worship",the kind of worship you do when you don't feel like worshiping at all,but you make a sacrifice of your momentary bad mood and give glory and greatfulness to God for just being alive which is actually the best thing that can happen to us!
See, I never understood that. I think God just wants us to be honest. If you have a really close friend and you're in a bad mood, you're not going to pretend you're happy. And that is just because that friend knows you very well and you don't feel like you have to pretend when you're around them. You're going to tell them about your problem and they're going to comfort you, right?..
