Praising and worshiping

Praising and worshiping God creates the atmosphere for His presence. Like any atmosphere it must be ideal for Him to dwell with us. Just like a fish has water or plants have the earth, God's presence or His glory dwell in the atmosphere where He is praised and worshiped.

Need a reason to praise Him?

Praise God becuase your in His sanctuary; Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! ...
