There should be a parallel between our supplications and our thanksgivings. We ought not to leap in prayer, and limp in praise.

Worship is Natural – JI Packer
We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.

Worry Less, Praise More – Harry Ironside
We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

Nothing Greater Than God – John Piper
God is the greatest thing that exists, ever has existed or ever will … for us to glory in anything else, would be sin, as there is nothing greater than God, there is no calling greater than praising God.

What Are You Living For? – Ken Sande
What are you really living for? It’s crucial to realize that you either glorify God, or you glorify something or someone else. You’re always making something look big. If you don’t glorify God when you’re involved in a conflict, you inevitably show that someone or something else rules your heart.

Are You Seeking Your Blessing or God’s Praise? – GHC Macgregor
How often has very earnest prayer for the fullness of the Holy Ghost been in vain, because he who sought that unspeakable blessing sought it rather for the glory which the possession of it, or the reputation for the possession of it, might bring to man, than for the honor and praise that might be brought to God.

Captured by Awe and Reverence – Alistair Begg
Only when we are captured by an overwhelming sense of awe and reverence in the presence of God, will we begin to worship God in spirit and in truth.

How to Worship God Wholeheartedly – Unknown
How do we worship our God wholeheartedly? To answer the question we must respond to the command … “If you love me, you will obey what I command” (John 14:15). True Love is complete obedience … half obedience is no obedience. If you love Jesus, you will obey what He commands. This is true love and true worship.
