THE WONDERS OF PRAISE
TEXT: PSALM 147:1-7, 149:1-9.
Praise is offering words of homage as an act of worship to God. Praise is pleasant and comely (beautiful). God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm 22:3
There are ‘ways’ of offering qualitative and acceptable praises to God. When praises ascend to heaven, untold wonders are being wrought in the lives of the people of God.
