What is Praise and why we should Praise?

The word, PRAISE itself has its unique significance. If you could ask me, "Is there a difference between praise and worship?". My answer would probably be YES. I say this because the Bible says so. Praise is a weapon that has been given to each and every believer. Worship is something that he deserves. It’s our heart cry.

When the Israelites were crossing the path of wilderness, God asked them to use this weapon called PRAISE to bring down such huge walls. When Paul and Silas were behind bars, they used a weapon called PRAISE to come out of bondage.

Oh then, why do we really have to praise God?

The Bible says that God inhabits in the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise. So as His people, we are supposed to praise God each and every second.

Is there a specific reason for us to praise God?

Yes it is. No one in this whole big world can say that there’s no reason for me to praise God. That must be their biggest ignorance. The very breath that we breathe is by the grace of God. The creation and the splendid works of His marvelous hands are greater reasons for each and everyone in this world to praise God. We as God’s children should never hesitate to praise God.

 It is the easiest and powerful weapon, God has given to His children. In times of trouble, Praise God. In times of Joy, Praise God. In times of worries, Praise God. And my list would go on. For in everything God has a purpose. The more we praise, the more our faith will increase. So let’s praise His Holy name forever.

"O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."
