Praising and worshiping God is an interactive experience. It’s both private and public. It involves our heart and our head. And, as we linger in God’s presence, praising him, we connect with the divine, the very Source of life. “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
Praise is the spontaneous response of a grateful child of God in his presence. That’s how Henry Blackaby describes it.
The person who knows God and experiences Him intimately sings to the Lord with deepest praise! Mary was overwhelmed by the Lord’s goodness to her. In response, she sang one of the most beautiful and profound songs of praise found in Scripture. Trying to stop the praise of a thankful heart would be like trying to arrest the flow of a mighty waterfall! God created us to praise Him; praise will be our activity when we are gathered around His throne in heaven.
