Psalm 119:7–"I will praise You with an upright heart, when I learn Your righteous rules."
The question is: how can I praise God in the most appropriate way that would please His heart the most? The answer: to learn His commandments.
When we know the commandments of the Lord and we apply them into our hearts we become able to fully worship, body, mind, and soul. It is not that we are unable, per se, to praise Him apart from the commandments. It's just that if we truly desire to praise Him we will desire to please Him through obedience to His commandments. There is, as it were, a direct correlation between our obedience to His Word and to our ability to worship. We would do well, then, to take seriously the call to worship in Spirit and in truth, making sure that the truth is planted firmly within our lives as deeply as we are rooted in Christ!
