A WORD FOR TODAY – MONDAY 1^st NOVEMBER 2010 

I'll praise God, but does He need it?

Does God have any needs at all? The Bible is very clear when it presents God as perfect and without any needs!

Acts 17:24-25 says, "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else." 

So why do we praise Him if He doesn't need it? Doesn't He have angels to worship Him?

• God delights in the praise of His creation! Psalm 149:3-4 says, "Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. For the LORD takes delight in his people…"
• When we praise, we are being obedient to God. Psalm 150:2 says, "Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness." 

Be Praiseful this week for God delights in the praise of His creation
