It reminds us Who is in charge. It connects us to the Source of life. It changes our perspective. It opens the way for him to share his blessings. It fuels life.
When I saw the tireless praise of believers in Uganda, I wondered how long it could last. Apparently a very long time. They never tired of expressing praise to Jesus. It wasn't like a long worship service. It was an attitude of reflective thanks and joy in Jesus. I saw it as they worked, as they ate, as they visited.When our praise is powered by emotion, it will fade with time. But when praise is fueled by the Spirit, he gives us renewed energy. We can embrace moments of life with joy.
Praise connects us with reality.
