worship

I was in church today. And, of course, as the wonderful Christian that I am, I was there to worship, actually, what I usually find myself doing is critisizing. Yep. Ill admit it. It's like my job is to critique each and every service and sermon. If you are a christian and you are reading this blog, I assume you know just what I am talking about. My pew, is my place in the audience, where I am there to point out when I am or am not being entertained. Of course, after the concert, or service rather, I ''discuss", or poke fun, or just tear down others about how the songs were played, or how boring it was, or how I didn't quite get the communion thought, or how the preacher was too long winded.......And the list of critisiscms continues.
And today, as I was getting into bored mode, thinking of how the songs were in too high of keys, and too slow, and the prayer was too long, and finally it hit me......I AM NOT GOD!!!!!!! I know, huge realization to make like 14 years after becoming a Christian!!!! But really tho, The church is not a concert, I am not there to be pleased, i am there to please God. I am not the audience, GOD IS. I am at church to praise my God. So, when you find yourself asking the question "so, what did you think of the service", or ' did you enjoy the worship?', maybe you should think that ultimately the only one who should be answering that question is God! Because it is not about us, it is all about him. God is the audience, and the critique. So next time when you feel your critical self dying to pop up, realize that God is the one who is there to be entertained not you. So hopefully our hearts will be more open to worship than bashing!!!
