Question for today (continued) What is the difference between praise and worship? Answer : In Scripture, praise is usually presented as boisterous, joyful, and uninhibited. God invites praise of all kinds from His creation. Jesus said that if people dont praise God, even the stones will cry out (Luke 19:40). When the Bible mentions worship, however, the tone changes. We read verses like, Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 96:9). And, Come let us worship and bow down (Psalm 95:6). Often, worship is coupled with the act of bowing or kneeling, which shows humility and contrition (2 Chronicles 29:28; Hebrews 11:21; Revelation 19:10). It is through true worship that we invite the Holy Spirit to speak to us, convict us, and comfort us. Through worship, we realign our priorities with Gods and acknowledge Him once more as the rightful Lord of our lives.
