Praise and worship. We hear this phrase frequently, yet it's easy to miss what God really means for us to experience during praise and worship. Praise, the way man expresses his joy to the Living God for who He is and what He does, was a lifestyle for the early church. Experiencing rapid growth after Pentecost, the daily gatherings of the early church focused on prayer, instruction from the Word of God, and praising God.
Present-day believers seeking a praise-filled walk with the Lord will culivate a deep devotion for God; grow in faithful obedience; and will reap a constant God-given joy. Try it! Open, heart-felt praise to our Lord and Savior will warm your heart with the Holy Spirit's fire.
Worship is man's reverent devotion and allegiance to God. Yet, worshipping the Lord is not to be an hourly experience on Sunday mornings, but an ongoing, personal state of devotion to the Lord. As a sacrificial act of worship, God expects us to be holy and pleasing to Him. We worship Him not only on our knees, but also with the lives we live daily.
Man was created to live and breathe in an atmosphere of praise-filled worship to his Creator. Let us be obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit as we enter into praise and worship.
