Short Thought #11: Praising

It has always greatly baffled me when I see people staring at people who are worshipping at Church. As I worship the Lord at Church, I glance around because it’s a joyous occasion to see fellow brothers and sisters in Christ worshipping but every now and then I will see someone or some people just sitting back staring and watching. I don’t understand it. When it’s time to worship my Father I can’t help but get on my feet and dance, because I think about all He brought me through, who He is to me, all the love I have in my heart for my Abba and all He’s going to do for me. Then I see people just looking and questions begin to pop in my mind; like, Why are they sitting? Do they not love God enough to dance for Him? Are they saved? Do they know the true goodness of Jesus? Do they feel like they don’t have to praise Him? Are they embarrassed to praise Him in front of people? Do they feel as though they have all of God they need? Do they have a real revelation of what praise really is or do they feel like it’s just like any other form of dancing? I know that’s a lot of questions but it is honestly what I contemplate when I see this taking place. All I can say to end this short thought is that I hope that those who don’t praise get a praise in their heart soon! Our Praise is a weapon! If you don’t have a praise then you are lacking a very vital weapon! Get up and get your shout on! Don't let your feelings, situation, surroundings or the opinions of people keep you from praising God! God desires to hear your voice shouting unto Him with the multitude! So go ahead! Worship and praise Him! Don't be afraid!
