Ps
33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye
righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
Praise
is Appropriate
Praise
is Attractive

A
while back at a Presbyterian church conference in Omaha, attendees were given
helium filled balloons. You see, vocally praising God in some Presbyterian
circles is frowned upon, and releasing the balloons would be a way of silently
expressing praise to God, if a person felt led to do so. Funny thing was, by
the end of the service, many were still holding on to their balloons!
Sadly,
many of us are still holding on to our balloons, fearing what others might
think if we exert a religious grunt. We are so animated when it comes to sports
or entertainment. But when we get to church, suddenly we are complete
introverts. Pulling an “Amen!” out of some folks would be like taking a salmon
from a grizzly!
God
inhabits the praises of his people, so stop sitting on your hands during
worship and acting like the cat’s got your tongue (or the devil).
Praise
God!
