Praising ourselves is the height of pride and godlessness…but giving glory to God brings great confidence. Psalm 62:5 shows this when it says, “Find rest, O my soul in God alone; my hope comes from Him.” The Psalmist David “commanded” his soul to praise the Lord. (Psalm 103:1) That’s because if we wait until we feel like it, it’ll only happen when we deem & desire to do so. In Psalm 103, David is not only encouraging himself to praise God, but others by his example. Believers bless or glorify God because He has already blessed them. We are to praise Him because He has empowered us to live an abundant life in His Presence. Praising God has nothing to do with our feelings or emotions…but everything to do with who God is.
