Praise and Worship

The Good News Today Is...I learned the difference between being thankful and praising. Being thankful to God is a reaction to receiving something you wanted, praising God is being grateful at all times, whether you have received anything or not. I guess I had never really thought about it before until I read it somewhere else. Worship is showing a reverent love and devotion to God. So...now that I have the terms straight in my mind, I don't have to wait until Sunday morning service to praise and worship. Sometimes we get it in our minds that praise and worship are always through music and a church service, but we can praise and worship anywhere, anytime, anyhow. "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O, Lord is the kingdom; you are exalted as head overall." 1Ch 29. Sometimes I have to read that verse a couple of times over in order to take it all in; the awe of that statement. That is praiseworthy.
