We Praise God Because . . . .

Years ago I was told by a visitor at our church that we didn’t praise the Lord enough. I told him he shouldn’t judge me. God knew my heart, and I was praising Him. Praise is a matter of personality, and whether it involves shouting, crying, laughing, hand raising, etc. It’s pleasing to the Lord.

Psalm 113:2-3 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.

We praise God because He’s greater than all the glory of the nations and  all the glories of Heaven. When the nations are gone and the saints fill Heaven, that place will ring with praise for the Lamb of God ( Rev. 4).

We praise Him for lifting us out of the pit of sin and making us righteous by his shed blood on the cross of Calvary. We praise Him for His Resurrection, guaranteeing eternal life for those who believe in Him..

We praise him for His Glory, His Grace and His Goodness.

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Thomas Ken 1674
