PRAISE AND WORSHIP
SHALOM!
I promised to take you through
three main areas in this lesson of PRAISE AND WORSHIP. And these are Praise, Worship and Music in praise and worship
PRAISE
This week we are going to start exploring more about praise. I have categorized this part of the lesson as follows
- Introduction
- Why do we have to praise?
- How should we praise?
- The power of praise
- Some bible verses about praise
INTRODUCTION
Let us begin
with the definition of praise right from the dictionary. Here are few
definitions.
- To express a warm approval of or admiration for
- Express respect and gratitude towards a deity (a god or a goddess)
- To glorify (a god or a saint) especially by the attribute of perfection
II. I can combine
the three definitions and say that “Praise is a warm approval, admiration,
expression of respect and gratitude, glorifying God by the attribute of
perfection” I have used just God because this lesson is about Praising and
worshiping the one and only true living God who is worthy!! Praising God is the
act of appreciation, recognizing the true value of God, his significance. It is
not easy to know the exact greatness of God but we all know for sure that God
is beautiful beyond description, above what our minds can comprehend.
Rev 4:8(NIV) says
“8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes
all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
"Holy,
holy, holy
is
the Lord God Almighty,
who
was, and is, and is to come."”
The four living creatures give
glory, and honor and thanks to God. (Verse
9 says: “Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who
sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever…") if i can put one word to describe what these four living creatures are doing, I can say "praise". They are praising God and in verse 8 the bible
says that the four living creatures do this day and night and they never stop.
So it means
every time is the time to praise God.
We are going to continue with this lesson next week so stay tuned!!
