"Why is Praising God
important?" 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), merciful and
faithful (Psalm
89:1), and much more.
This list of attributes is complemented by a list of His wonderful works. He is
the One who saves us, keeps His
promises, pardons sin (Psalm
103:1-3). To try to list
all the things
God has done is impossible,
BUT IT IS A WONDERFUL EXERCISE BECAUSE IT TURNS OUR HEARTS BACK TO HIM AND KEEPS US MINDFUL OF HOW MUCH WE OWE TO HIM.
Psalm 148:1-10 tells us that all of creation is commanded to give praise to God. Though there are many people who choose not to praise God right now, there is coming a day in which every knee will bow and every tongue will confess the praises of God (Philippians 2:10-11). Some will joyfully give those praises because of the salvation they have received, while some will give those praises as conquered enemies headed for eternal punishment for their rejection of God.
PRAISE IS A VITAL PART OF A LIFE SURRENDERED TO GOD, AND IT GIVES CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. GIVING GOD OUR FULL ATTENTION THROUGH OUR BODY, WORK, AND FAMILY IS THE FULL FORM OF PRAISING GOD. WHICH MEANS WE INDIVIDUALLY HAVE TO PRAISE GOD IN EVERYTHING WE DO.
