Praising God is a normal response to what He has done for us and who He is.

The book of Psalms, the largest book in the Bible with 150 individual psalms, is full of praise to God. In fact, Psalm 150, the last psalm in the book, concludes with the injunction, "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6) Psalm 92 begins with the statement, "It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High", saying that it is good to praise.

If we want reasons to praise God, we don't have far to look. First, God sent His Son, Jesus, to pay for our sins so that we could enjoy being in the presence of God forever. We cannot pay for our sins ourselves, so God paid for them.

In addition to Jesus' sacrifice for us, we can look at the many attributes of God. God is all-powerful (Matthew 19:26), all-knowing (1 John 3:20), greater than anyone else (Colossians 1:18), love itself (1 John 4:, merciful (Psalm 86:15), faithful (1 Corinthians 1:9), wiser than any other (Romans 16:27), and even more.

A list of God's attributes would be as long as the Bible itself. Looking at these attributes makes it plain that He deserves our praise.

An example of the importance of us praising God is Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday (Luke 19:28–44). When the crowds of people were praising Jesus, some of the religious leaders in the crowd asked Jesus to rebuke His disciples because of their praise (Luke 19:39). Jesus' response, in verse 40 was, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." Praising God is so important that if people don't praise Him, creation would praise Him. Eventually, everyone will praise Him. Philippians 2:10 says that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow.

This is not restricted to those who love Him—it says everyone will bow.

Since we all will eventually praise God, it is reasonable that we acknowledge His greatness now while we are not compelled to praise Him. Praising Him is His due, and we, as Christians, have the chance to praise Him now.

Praise is the only thing that moves God. You can pray amiss but you can never praise amiss. When you praise God, you move him to act. He inhabits the praise of His people. Praise is so important to God that He said if men won't praise Him, he'll raise stones to do so. So let us praise Him in the beauty of holiness.

The Truth is that the importance of praising God is hinged on the purpose of praising God, for praising God without the purpose of praising God being achieved means praising God in vain.

For the Jews were very good in praising God, for it was said that they honored God and drew closer to Him with their mouths and lips, but that because their hearts were far from Him... that hence their worship and praise was vanity in the sight of God.

So as much as we want to praise God with our mouths and lips, let's ensure that the purpose of praise is achieved which is to draw our hearts closer to God, so we don't end up pleasing ourselves and not God who we are praising, because the purpose of praise is not achieved.

Matthew 15:8-9 (KJV)

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

It gives joy to your creator, so go ahead and praise Him today.

It’s a good vocal exercise, nothing else.
Why will a God secure in itself want constant praises?
That seems like the action of man — a very insecure one.

So that he will not chook your yarnsh with hot fork when you die.

He spoke facts, deal with it!

the Jewish god needs his ego massaged so much that he created a place where people would go after they die to praise him forever and ever lol.

If your God demands to be praised all the time, i mean all the time in such a way to massage his ego then your God is the most insecured piece of sh it ever known.

I can never worship a Megalomaniac p imp like that who want to be praised all the time, Trust me if God truely exist in this world and rules but demands to be praised all the time, Won't you Christian call him an chronic insecure dictator suffering from a low self esteem disorder?

In the end you still will keep praising him even if you deal with the reality of taking it. And that's more insanity hidering the black race. Evolve!

Don't let God get depressed. Praise him today.

God is like a child that lacks self esteem and constantly needs to be reminded how special he is.

God can cure insanity with a snap of a finger if you had faith as small as a mustard seed...in fact if you had a little faith you could command a mountain to move and it will move....
