Worship Through Praise

In genuine spiritual worship (Rom 12:1), we bow before the Most High God, the most merciful and reliable and winsome of all beings, and we crown Him as Lord of all that we are. We consent to His gracious, transforming work in our lives; we agree that He can work in us so that we’ll be willing and able to do His will. In other words, we choose to let Him be God in our lives. This is our greatest privilege, the highest thing we can do.
Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people. Some versions say He is “enthroned” upon our praises. When we praise, we enthrone God in our lives and circumstances, and He manifests His presence in a special way…praise turns on that mighty glorious presence and tunes us in to His sufficiency. We come filled to overflowing with Him. Our lives become a stage on which He, the leading Actor, reveals Himself in love and power, blessing both us and the people we relate to.
