How important is our praise to the LORD?
Obviously, it's very important, but why?
I believe a part of the answer is found in
the heavenly reality realm where we give
our praise to Him who sits on the throne.
This is how we bring forth a truthful
witness.
This truthful witness is interlaced through
out all of His creation, and we who believe
are His witnesses.
Luke 19:40 NASB
But Jesus answered, "I tell you,
if these become silent, the stones
will cry out!"
Strong's G3037 - Lithos = a stone;
of small stones; of building stones
Strong's G2896 - Krazo - to croak;
cry out, cry aloud, to cry/speak with
a loud voice
The Greek words, "Lithos Krazo" might
become an expression of 'shouting stones!"
This is the faithful witness to His Lordship.
Some churches don't encourage public
praise as a meaningful expression of the
worship service. I would require each
believer to then give daily praise on our
own. This is our reasonable service.
Matthew 3:9 KJV
"And think not to say within yourselves
'We have Abraham to [our] father': for
I say unto you, that God is able of these
stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
Our witness is not based on our historical
journey of where we have come from, or our
past lineage, or our own church membership.
It is about how we are giving ourselves as a
living witness by praising Him as our LORD.
