“Worshiping God should make US happy.”
It could but it may not. We may be convicted.
We may be saddened by our sin that caused Christ to go to the cross.
A 14 year old threw that one at me in Sunday School today.
There’s also the line about offering to God the sacrifice of praise.
Sometimes, it IS painful to praise God when things don’t go our way. It is a sacrifice to move on in faith and believe that even when things don’t go the way I wanted or expected, that God knows best what He’s doing and I need to, in faith, thank and praise Him even when NOT giving me what I want.
Cause what I want is often not what’s best for me. It’s the flesh rising up and not the Spirit within me.
