Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul; and forget not all His benefits - who forgives all my sins and heals all your diseases. Psalms 103: 1-3 (NIV)
Praise is expressing to God our appreciation and understanding of His worth. It is saying thank you for each aspect of His divine nature. Our inward altitude becomes outward expression.
When we praise God, we help ourselves by expanding our awareness of who He is.
1) we may be falsely accused and misunderstood by friends and enemies.
2) we may not be truly appreciated by others for the love we show.
3) the true value of our work and service may not be duly rewarded or
4) our ideas may be ignored.
Our praises should focus on Gods glorious deeds
1) He forgives our sins
2) He heals our diseases
3) He redeems us from death
4) He crowns us with love and compassion
5) He satisfies our desires
6) He gives righteousness and justice
