"Praise the LORD!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
For it is pleasant and praise is becoming."
Psalm 147:1
It is a privilege to praise God. That Deity would condescend to us and share Himself with us, is reason enough to praise Him. To know that we can have an intimate relationship with the Creator should move us to exalt Him. It is good to sing praises to our God because He is worthy of that honor. And in turn we are honored through the praise we offer to Him. He is pleased with our praise, and we are pleased to give it. Praise lifts our hearts and satisfies our souls. When we are in an attitude of praise, we are radiant. Look at a Christian who is praising God and you will see true beauty.
I remember standing in a room with a lot of college students and we were singing praises to the Lord. It was so beautiful and everyone looked so radiant, as you said. It was an amazing feeling. He is so worthy of our praises.
