In essence, praise is bragging about God instead of us or the idols of this world. Its celebrating who God is and how He relates to His people. Many Christians and congregations rarely do this. We are so self-centered and self-focused that we treat praise and worship as preliminaries that we have to get through to get to the important stuff, which of course is the teaching and personal ministry that make us feel good. Sadly, we all too often treat our expressions of admiration toward God as through He is of secondary importance. Im sure that God is not please with this behavior. Indeed, theres no reason to have a meeting if praise and worship are not the central focus of our time together. We may call our collection of traditions, habits, and activities worship, but we have no hope of worshiping God if we are not willing to first give Him the praise that is due unto Him.
