Quick thought...hopefully provoking

I was thinking the other day about worship...I'll try to tie this in to living in a van towards the end of the post.  It's interesting to me how people worship.  Right away I want to ask you what you thought as you read that last sentence.  Did I mean how people worship in a church service?  Did I mean how people worship with their daily lives?  Did I mean how people worship with their driving or their sex lives or at work?  Mostly I mean during a church service.  AND what implications does that have on the rest of our lives?

Seriously, this is some food for thought people.  Think about it.  Do you worship your God, the Almighty with passion and praise during a worship service?  Or are you more the type that has a very deep and silent communion with God as you sit there with your hands at your side and a meaningless expression on your face?  I'm not trying to knock that latter group.  In fact, I'm just as critical of the first group I mentioned.  I tend to find myself in both groups from time to time and it's kind of disturbing.  If I worship the LORD with passion and praise during a church service, what does the rest of my week look like?  Is it equally filled with praise and worship of the Creator during the week?  Sadly, most times this is not the case.  When I am solemn and still or at least appear that way during a church service I tend to appear that way the rest of the week too, but that doesn't say much for what is actually going on in my heart and my head.  I can be just as complacent during a "solemn" week as a "praise and worship" week.  The only difference is that it looks more consistent during a "solemn" week.

Part of the reason I decided to live in the van is because I was sick of my life being inconsistent in its worship of the LORD.  I don't want to shout praise or look solemn just to keep up appearances.  I want my life to overflow with what the LORD is actually doing in my life.  I hope what I'm talking about in this post has been clear enough.  This is the tough stuff of faith to me.  I know I can talk a good talk and even fake a pretty good walk when I want to, but can I really walk the path I'm called to?  Can you?
