“Rejoice
in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright
is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to him with an instrument
of ten strings.
Sing to him a new song…”Psalms 33:1-3
There
is a unique power in worshipping and praising God.
Through praise and worship, our hearts are raised into the
joyous presence and peace of God.
Worship provides God with a channel for His power to operate
in our lives and circumstances.
“Praise
elevates us into God’s presence and power.
" And
when we praise the name of God and worship him,
it sends the enemy running!
Since praise manifests God’s presence, it also repels the
presence of the enemy.
“...when
they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against
the children
of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and
they were smitten” 2 Chronicles 20:22
