[b]God doesn't need praise because he's insecure, we praise God because we're insecure

Here are 7 things praises does for you.

1. Praise changes the spiritual
climate: When you’re in a bad
mood, begin praising God.
You’ll be amazed at how the
atmosphere changes. When
Paul and Silas were in prison,
they praised God and an
earthquake freed them (Acts
16.25). A downer turned into
deliverance.

2. Praise fulfills your primary
purpose as a created being:
After Jesus performed
miracles, the crowd began
praising God. The Pharisees
wanted to rebuke them, but
Jesus said, “If these [people]
become silent, the stones will
cry out!” (Luke 19.40) It is
primal for creation to praise
the Creator. If you don’t,
you’ll worship something
else.

3. Praise empowers you to
great deeds: After the
Apostle Peter named Jesus as
the Son of God, Peter moved
in astonishing power (Matthew
16.16). His great exploits
began after his declaration of
praise. Praise empowers you
to do the same things Peter
did.

4. Praise restores your
understanding to the right
order: When things go wrong,
they take control. The broken
water softener gets the upper
hand. The prodigal son
becomes your obsession. But
in reality, God is still on the
throne. Praise puts things in
the right perspective.

5. Praise reminds you of God’s
presence in your life: In
Psalm 22.1, David wrote, “My
God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?” Had God really
forsaken David? No, but
that’s how David felt. If
you’re walking with God, He
won’t forsake you. Praise
reminds you that God is near.

6.Praise crucifies your pride:
We tend to think of ourselves
more highly than we ought.
But praise humbles us.
Hebrews 13.15 calls it a
“sacrifice of praise.” Sacrifice
always costs us. The Apostle
Paul said he died daily (1 Cor.
15.31). Praise helps you die
daily so God is raised.

7. Praise attracts God’s
presence: When King Solomon
dedicated the Temple to God,
he offered sacrifices and
praised God. God answered
by sending fire from heaven.
Then His Glory came (2
Chronicles 7). Praise attracts
God’s presence. He is drawn
to where He is welcomed. [/b]
