Jan 4, 2022 · Praise is a good thing. That means it is pleasant, valuable, and morally excellent. Psalm 147:1 tells us that praise is beautiful and agreeable. When we consider the reasons why we should praise God, we find a list of His attributes. He is full of glory (Psalm 138:5), great (Psalm 145:3), wise and powerful (Daniel 2:20), good (Psalm 107:8 ...

I don’t think there was any biblical text that my parents spoke to me or wrote to me after I left home more frequently than 1 Corinthians 10:31: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” That command, that duty, was imprinted on my soul from as early as I can remember, and I am so thankful that it was. It was a...
And I remember seeing (this was in, I think, 1976 or so) for the first time those three verses in Ephesians 1:6, 12, 14 — all three of them saying, “unto the praise of his glory,” “unto the praise of his glory,” “unto the praise of his glory,” as if Paul were to say, “Hey, did you get it the third time, if not the second, if not the first time?” Go...
Then came the great discovery. It came from several sides, but the most shocking and compelling statement of the discovery was in C.S. Lewis’s book Reflections on the Psalms. He not only nailed my confusion, my perplexity, but in doing so, he gave the answer to it. So I want you to hear what I heard. So I’m going to read the whole section, a couple...
Do you see where that led me? Every time God commanded me to praise him for his glory, he was commanding me to bring my pleasure in him to its fullest delight. That’s what he was commanding. My pleasure in God is not complete unless it overflows in praise. And my praise of God is not glorifying to God unless it is the overflow of pleasure in God. G...
- The Bible commands it. As the Psalmist says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6).
- Praise facilitates access to God. Obviously, it’s the blood of Jesus that paves the way for our forgiveness from sin and relationship with God (Hebrews 10:19).
- Praise is where God lives. Wait a minute, isn’t God omnipresent — everywhere, all the time? Absolutely! Yet His presence is especially intense in an atmosphere of praise.
- Praise promotes productivity. According to the Word, the Earth yields its produce in the presence of praise (Psalm 17:5-6). Does this mean crops are actually going to grow better where worship is present?
Jan 16, 2018 · God, therefore, is naturally worthy of praise because of his perfect and holy nature. So, praising God is the right thing to do. Furthermore, we praise him because of how wonderful he is. He is glorious (Psalm 21:4), good (Psalm 107:1), created all things (Rev. 4:11), blesses his people (Deut. 12:7), and hears our prayers (Psalm 116:2).
Jul 26, 2022 · When we praise the Lord, we acknowledge our lowly state and our desperate need for Him. We are compelled to seek Him and to lean into Jesus and press on toward the end, which is glory. When we praise the Lord, we become less and He becomes more. When we praise the Lord, we magnify His name and glorify Him.
Jan 5, 2024 · Understanding that God inhabits the praises of His people fosters a sense of unity, of shared spiritual experience. It reinforces the idea that, as believers come together in worship, they create a sacred space. A space where the divine presence is not only acknowledged. A space where the divine presence is welcomed.

1. God lacks and needs nothing. God has been perfectly satisfied and joyful in his own nature from all eternity. God is perfect, and God needing something implies insufficiency and imperfection. That being said, God might be obligated (to himself) to express his glory fully, and, in a certain sense, that requires spectators.
