Praise is an admiration and gratification given to God and this simple effort is endears us to Him.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17
You want to live Praise God.
“He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”” Matthew 4:4
The greatest effort in life is praising God. Did I hear someone say thanksgiving but I hesitate because thanksgiving has its esteemed place and cannot compare to praise.
Let us be reminded
Praise is an admiration and gratification given to God
The world revolves around appreciation which I also call an a hand shake, without which it is impossible for civilisation to progress, we progress through this same phenomenon with nature. We noticed the so called handshake is becoming an earthquake since we failed to appreciate the essence of nature.
In the same manner as exposited, we as God’s own cherished creations need a rethink and realign our selves to maintaining a heartwarming handshake as praise is our only solution.
I will do a quick comparative analysis.
1 Praise is regardless of our state or status
Whilst thanksgiving is about manifestations and expectations.
2 Praise is an exaltation, extroverted or introverted. i e whether you say it or think it.
Thanksgiving open the doors for more. Such as more blessings, more in good health.
3 The power points of praise supersedes thanksgiving and praise always converts to an outpouring of grace, a/k/a, the unmerited favour of God.
Therefore, I emphasised and I submit that we live by praise and thanksgiving not only towards each other but most importantly to the Most High God.
“For in him we live and move and have our being…. Acts 17:28.
King Saul on the brink. He lost it all when he turned his back on Praise.
“Saul then said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” His servants replied, “There is a woman at En-dor who is a medium.”” 1 Samuel 28:7
Until Naaman the Syrian General accepted God’s praise he remained leprous
“Aram had gone on raids and brought back from the land of Israel a young girl who served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his skin disease.”” 2 Kings 5:2-3
“So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the command of the man of God. Then his skin was restored and became like the skin of a small boy, and he was clean.” 2 Kings 5:14
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”” John 7:38
“Thank him as you go through the gates into his temple. Praise him as you stand in his temple yards. Thank him and praise him as he deserves!” Psalms 100:4
