Why Do We Praise and Worship God?

 

Have you ever asked yourself why do you praise and worship God? Is it because we need to do it or is it because it of your intimated devotion and love for God? You know my friends, there is only one book that has the answers to all these questions. The Bible is the wonderful and mysterious book that God has chosen as a way to communicate with us.

God is the focus of our devotion in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. In Exodus 20:2-3, God says, “I am the LORD your God …..You shall have no other gods before me.” In Matthew 4:10, Jesus says, “Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.” So, worship is not merely a natural instinct but it’s a command from God.

God alone is worthy of our devotion, praise and worship. He is God, our Creator, and we are commanded to praise and worship Him. A life of praise and worship fills our deepest needs, and amazingly, it also brings great joy to God.

Many people think that praise and worship is only singing songs at church, but there’s so much more in it. It is also a condition of your heart and a willingness to exalt God and yield to his will. Worship is an expression of love and awe to the God who gives us more than we deserve. Whether you express your worship by singing, playing music, dancing or in some other way, remember that you are called to worship God with your every action, every day of your life. God is holy, loving, and worthy of all our worship and devotion.
