People typically worship the Lord for the incorrect reasons and usually do not get the whole picture. The reason why we should make our praise to Him is because He is our creator and crafted the universe that we oftentimes neglect. This is certainly the genuine reason why we must devote ourselves to Him and truly feel honored to present ourselves to Him. He asks us to praise Him still while in the hardest times and serve His purpose. It is an opportunity for us to carry on His important message and thank Him for all He has bestowed. This beautiful message is lost to many because they never open themselves entirely and permit God right into their lives.
Instead of praising God to receive something, why don't you do so because you are thankful for the treasure he has already given. The Lord brought you your life and made it entirely possible for you to stand before him. That is the motive why you should serve and worship him. He is why you get up every day and get that first breath of fresh air and for everything else in your daily life. Prayer and praise are a spiritual link with our maker. Even though living a good everyday life and having faith may produce rewards, this ought not be the primary desire for worshiping God.
Be sure to yourself exactly why you praise and worship Him? Have you been practicing it for the right reasons? Analyze the way you honor Him and the degree of commitment involved. God, the father can achieve countless things if you truly let Him in your heart and stay with your calling. Simply by serving Him you are assured to walk with Him in heaven. That is without question the greatest gift you are able to receive.
