People often wonder why we go to church. They even go so far as to ask why we even bother to give praise and worship to God. It's been stated that God doesn't need our praise or our worship because he's God! When I heard this I was immediately stopped in my tracks and I had no choice but to think this over. I was shocked that I couldn't come up with an immediate reason and was even considering saying that person had a point. I took a lil longer and it smacked me in the face harder than a hood momma who's son just back talked to her, lol!
Why do we praise? Why do we worship? Think of, hmmmm, the BIG things. Let's try being alive first. That's always a biggie! Then we can go into some of the not so big things like being able to have use of most if not all of our body parts, limbs and organs. Then, our mind is hopefully in correct running order! The big things that happen the most often that we take for granted. The little things... think on the little things! How many times have you drove somewhere and arrived at your destination? You have been protected and delivered from every possible accident you could have been involved in. Some of us have been healed from various diseases that were said to be incurable. Some of us have sicknesses that could be far worse than it could be, but have shocked and appalled the doctors time and time again. There are endless possibilities of things that could or could not have come our way to cause us hurt harm and mishap. I lift my hands and say "but God..."
Why do we praise? Why do we worship? It is because of GRATITUDE! When someone does something for you, it's all too familiar to say thank you. When we praise and worship God we are showing gratitude for all he has done, is doing and will do for us. We can't physically give God anything. We can sacrifice in God's name but we can never physically give god anything. The fruit of your lip is the best thing you can offer God. The way you live, respectfully, humbly, meekly, and honest, is how you show God you're grateful.
There are so many Gospel artists that have written songs about having a reason. It all comes back to gratitude. Think on all the favor and blessings God has granted to you and then, grab an attitude of gratitude.
