Praise

praise - How can praise become a natural response to the presence of God in my life?

As [Jesus] rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. . . . All of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.

Luke 19:36-37

Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the LORD made the heavens!

1 Chronicles 16:25-26

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?

Psalm 8:3-4

GOD IS THE CREATOR of the universe. He fashioned the heavens, placing the planets and stars in motion; carved out the canyons, valleys, and mountains; and breathed life into every human being. How amazing is it that this same God desires a personal relationship with us and even provides a way for us to live forever with him in heaven? As the creator and sustainer of life, he is worthy of our highest praise. Before you come into prayer or worship, take a few moments to think about God’s awesome power and greatness. As you meditate on his unlimited and unconditional love for you personally, despite your limitations, you will begin to find yourself responding to him with more adoration, joy, and praise.
