Choosing To Praise (Acts 16:25-30)

Jesus deserves our worship. We praise Him, not just because we feel good or life is going well; we praise Him because he is deeply and truly worthy. Biblical worship and praise is not driven by our emotional ups and downs, yet as we give ourselves to praising our worthy God our emotions follow our praise. God promises that those who seek Him will find Him; God reveals Himself to us when we praise Him.  In His word God invites us - and teaches us how - to praise Him physically with our bodies, leading our souls and spirits into worship as we do. Lift your hands! Shout your praise! Sing your song! It was God's idea, and He loves it.
