Something that i personally don't like is the silence that lingers for a while after my pastor has called the congregation to worship God in song, prayer or Scripture. Just a minute back we are all singing as to how great our God is, but why do we fall silent and have no words to say to the same God that we were singing to.
Many people give lame excuses that they are shy or their command over the language is not that great. God looks at the heart and the motive of the worshiper.If we truly love God we will praise Him ALWAYS.If you do not spend much time in prayer, meditating on scripture and worshiping the Lord during the week; you wont be able to worship Him on Sunday morning either.
We can never fall short of reasons to worship God. To streamline your thoughts, meditate on scripture. Psalms are very helpful too, as it helps you to focus on His attributes(Eg:Ps 98,100,138,145 and many more).
So next time when you are hesitant to openly praise God, get the focus off yourself and put it on Christ. The words will flow out quite easily.

Worship flows from a heart that is in awe of Who God is and how worthy He is of our worship! Worship is worth-ship!!
If I spend all my energies pursuing anything other than knowing God then, I don't have much to say or proclaim about His worth-ship!!
When our hearts are consumed in knowing Him, serving Him, being satisfied in Him in all stances of life( He always satisfies!), what flows out is praise, songs of thanksgiving and worship!
Sadly to say, we are too easily satisfied!! I am reminded of that sweet refrain, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!"
Good post, thank you!!
I love that song!!!! We are way too distracted with the measly things of the world and need to continuously focus on Christ...
