Why Wouldn't You Worship?

I am consumed with worship for my Jesus...my Savior. I really do wish that I could just spend all day soaking in His presence. But the things of this world always interrupt and I find myself taking care of kids, dogs, laundry...you name it!

So when I do get a chance to worship, I jump on it. Anytime I am driving alone, you can find me belting out my favorite worship songs as I struggle to keep concentration on the road. Worship is just so overpowering! Anytime I am working at home or just simply relaxing, I normally have a CD playing. I just have to worship. It consumes me.

With that mindset, naturally it is hard for me to understand why Christians don't worship...especially when given the opportunity. As a worship leader, it is my job to create the atmosphere...God gives me the music...we practice it...I make sure to be prayed up...and then we worship as we are leading our congregation. But why does it often feel like I am pulling teeth to get people to worship their Savior? Granted, our church has come a LONG way in our level of worship....people have made tons of progress and deepened their worship. But still, how could someone just stand there unaffected? Why is it that my 10 year old daughter worships more than some adults? Why is it that people talk, giggle, and run to the bathroom instead of devoting this time to God?

These are simple things that I just don't understand. An opportunity for worship should never be passed up. Christians shouldn't have to be "talked into" worshipping. It should radiate from their life.
