Hello dear community, I am @windermarin

Much is currently being said about praise and worship and is practiced, both in Christian churches and in movements within the Catholic Church itself, such as, for example, the charismatic movement.

But in this case there are many people within the aforementioned areas, who can not yet differentiate between the meaning of praise and worship, and there are even those who confuse both terms into one.

On the other hand in the sense that is currently used has become very light and is mainly focused on the musical aspect.

Given this situation it is necessary to study, be informed a little and consider its meaning, its importance in the life of the believer, its practices and, above all, the impact that both praise and worship must produce in all our lives.

In general lines about the description of the subject, praise is the result of stating positive affirmations about someone, either privately or publicly.

In a religious context, praises to God are a fundamental part of the liturgy, both as internal and external expression, which can take diversity of forms, such as singing, enunciation, dance, thought.

In the bible in the Psalms there is a collection of hymns and poems that mostly praise God.

The etymology of the word praise comes from the halal Hebrew, which means to make show, be clear, enlighten, be bright and celebrate.

In religion, praise is given to God and Christians express it with exaltation, joy and joy for all the good that God provides in his life.

Typically, praise comes as a form of gratitude for your gifts, both material and spiritual. Therefore, only God is the only one worthy of praise and exaltation.

Whatever the Christian denomination, there are always common links in regard to the practice of praising God, either through vocal or musical means, or both jointly or simply through the actions of each child of God.

Each one of us has experienced the manifestation of God in different ways in our own life, for which reason there are many reasons to offer praise to God.

However, since the time of the Old Testament we are mentioned some of the reasons we must have present to praise God. Here are some of them:

• For his wonderful works:

  Psalm 139: 14.

• For its creation:

  Psalm 89:12.

• For its character and attributes:

  Psalm 106: 1

• Because it is fair:

  Psalm 119: 62.

• For his holiness:

  Isaiah 6: 3

EXPRESSIONS OF PRAISE

Any form of praise must begin in the spirit and motivated by the love of God: "For it is God who, by his benevolence, performs in us the will and the work, giving tribute of praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. with the integral being of each one.

Some forms of expression are:

Fruit of the lips:

It is the instrument that we possess to confess his majesty and supernatural greatness, but always attending to what the Bible tells us about the care of what comes out of the lips and our mouth

"No man has been able to tame the tongue, it is a turbulent evil, full of deadly poison, with it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, made in the image of God, from the same mouth we speak blessing and damn"

The fruit of the lips is not necessarily to sing a previously learned song, but to emit a spontaneous song and to sprout from a grateful and exalted heart of love

Praise in music

Music plays a very important role in the praise of God, even when it is not indispensable to praise God because we have our mouth to sing, hands to beat palms and feet to dance to the Lord.

But if we include a specific rhythm and musical instruments, then we will truly achieve a party for God, complementing everything with each other.

But we must bear in mind something important and that a world musician will never be able to interpret praise of God honestly, since his own ego will basically prevail over spirituality, and this could even discourage and cool many listeners at that moment.

The true musician of the Lord must be a converted person and that his musical expression be so spiritual that he can reach God and infect others and touch hearts through music since he does not sing to the public, but to God.

In conclusion, praise is the way of expression of Christians to give glory and honor to the Lord.

But it must be done intimately and spiritually, away from any human and mundane spectacle. That is, to praise into a direct communication with God and his holy spirit instead of performing a show with it, which will please the listeners, but not God.

Praise is intimately linked to adoration and both complement each other. Necessarily they must merge into one to achieve the purpose of achieving full intimacy with God in an atmosphere of peace.

That is why the Lord wants worshipers in spirit and in truth, so that the Holy Spirit prepares them to worship God in holiness and glory.

WORSHIP

To adore in short is to render a sacred cult and reverence with the highest honor to God, to freely give all our love to Him in a sincere expression of submission and respect.

The word adoration comes frm the Latin ad and ora (mouth) and means to pay homage.

A child of God you have to have a true worship to God
