Why do we praise God?
God already knows He is awesome. He is God after all. So, why does He need us to tell Him that He is great?
God doesn't need us to praise Him; We need to praise God.
God requires our worship, not because He needs to feel better about Himself, but because we need to remember how awesome and wonderful He is. God knows that we as human beings are pretty miraculous beings and sometimes we could start to think that we are doing everything all on our own; that we make it happen....that we don't need God. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Every breath we take; every sunrise we see; every raindrop we feel; every success we earn; every smile we feel...everything is from God.
And, that is so worth praising.
And, that is so worth praising.
When we praise God...when we worship Him...it is our opportunity to remember all that He is done in our lives and to be thankful. Our praise of God also gives us the occasion to stop and simply be in God's presence - to allow His awesomeness to wash over us and to simply celebrate God.
Praising God is all about us looking to our Creator and saying, "thank you" and "God, it is all about You". Praising God is about each of us humbling ourselves before Him and recognizing that without His grace we would be lost. Without His love we would be incomplete. Without His presence we would be...we wouldn't be who were are meant to be.
We need to praise God...it is in our DNA. We were created to praise Him.
Praising God is all about God...but ultimately our praise of God is about us remembering Who God is.
God is I AM.
God is the One and the Only.
God is worthy of all praise.
He doesn't need the praise - but only He is worthy of the praise.
