Psalm 50: 23
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me; and to him that ordereth His conduct aright will I show the salvation of GOD.
PRAISE GLORIFIES GOD
I love the image of standing in praise before the Father and seeing Him smile. The littlest of babies can fill their father with warm joy, when they say their first word, "Da, da". This first words are so pleasing to the earthly father, how much more pleasing to the heavenly Father are the words of praise and thanksgiving. ABBA gets so tickled when one of His children spends their time and the gift of breath just praising Him for who He is.
There is another form of praise that glorifies and magnifies GOD, a life that is lived in righteousness and "good conduct". We are a joyful praise of GOD when we act rightly; when we act according to GOD'S Word; when we act in Love. Many people need to be reminded, I know that I do, that praise is in word and in action. If we praise and glorify GOD with our mouth only, then go and "kick the cat" or bite and devour the neighbor, we are not being truthful with our praise of GOD. Good conduct brings the gift of salvation; the word of praise and the act of praise is a powerful message of the love of GOD. He responds with a Blessing.
