No Substitute for Praise

Worship is an insurmountable salve for all the ills of the human condition.  There is a unique healing that happens when a human bows before the Lord.  It is a sweet comfort for the worshiper  to praise God with an earnest and humble heart.

It is a simple thing, really.  Yet despite the reality of it all, many people either neglect praising God or willfully reject worshiping Him at all.  But those that do not praise Him are worse for their wear while the worshiper is strengthened to weather any tumult or storm.

There is no substitute for genuine praise.  The sincerest praise heals hearts and mends the broken, giving them strength in weariness and hope in desolation.  It is a matter of honesty and reverence, recognizing who God is and how much we need His mighty hand for every breath for in Him we live, and move, and have our being.  Let us then offer Him praise for who He is and all He has done and continues to do!
