Praising God

"Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises to our God;

For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful."

- Psalm 147:1

"...the reason God seeks our praise is not because He won't be complete until He gets it.  He is seeking our praise because we won't be happy until we give it."

- John Piper

"The love of God that makes much of us for His glory is a greater love for us than a love that only makes much of us. Because in making much of us for His glory, God directs out attention out of ourselves, as the ultimate foundation for joy, to Himself. Only God can truly satisfy our souls. We are precious to Him and the greatest gift that He has for us is not to let that preciousness become our god, but rather that He becomes our God." 

- John Piper

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;"

- Psalm 145:3a
