Praise and Worship

"Praise is an expression of approval or admiration. We can praise people and we can praise God. In reference to God, praise is an acknowledgement and appreciation of what He has done for us. It is our way of giving thanks to Him. God is worthy of our praise."

"Worship is an expression of adoration and reverence. It is reserved only for God. When worshiping, a person submits himself completely before God. It is a stance of humility and surrender. In this position a person can align himself with God's will."

When we praise and worship the Lord we lift our hands, our heads and our hearts surrendering all we are to God. We posture ourselves up toward God. When we lift our heads we look to Him. When we bow our heads it is in reverence to Him. When we kneel it is at His feet. When we raise our hands we do it palms up which indicates we are giving it all to God.

We admire and adore the Lord for who He is and we want to worship any way we can. Below is a list of forms of worship and some of these might be ones that you never thought of as worship. But if your heart is in the right place of worship then you in fact are giving reverence to the Lord.
