Psalm 22:3 says, “But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel.” Enthroned in the Hebrew means to dwell, remain, sit, abide. The definition drew me to John 4:24. It says, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Praise is rooted in the heart of one whose lifestyle is worship. Worship is succulent fruit to the Lord. Psalm 138:1-2 says, “I will praise You with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above Your name.”

God’s word gives us the words to worship with. Throughout Scripture we see the Lord’s attributes displayed. As we gaze at Him, as we contemplate Who He is at all times, worship enlarges our hearts until it is expressed through our lips.

1 Peter 2:5 says, “You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
