Today I have been listening, and I have been working on the concept of praising God - for His goodness and all that He created. I have been working on what praise means. I noticed in a concordance that there are 216 different citations in the Bible of the word "praise." Sounds like a lot of singing ... is the Bible a Broadway musical? :)
But I've been thinking and looking more into it, and I realize that to praise God doesn't have to involve the use of singing voices, or even just our vocal chords. In the Biblical sense, I get the idea that to praise God is to express Him - His goodness. And we, as perfect expressions of God, who created us in "His image and likeness" (from Gen. 1), we have the duty to express Him all the time, because we are never separated from God, good. I'm working to understand all the ways I can "praise" him - both by words and by works. Such a simple word, yet such amazing possibilities.
