In the Bible, praise is closely linked with worship and thanksgiving. Through all three we honor and enjoy God. In scripture, people expressed their worship in several ways. They bowed before God, often with a sense of awe, to honor Him and show their devotion. They offered special gifts to Him, the chief gift being themselves.
Today, as in Bible times, worship includes yielding to God as our Lord
and Master. We see this in ROMANS 12:1 ,
where God asks to offer Him our bodies, our lives, our entire person.
This, he says, is true worship.
In genuine spiritual worship, we bow before the Most High God, the most
merciful and reliable and winsome of all beings, and we crown Him as
Lord of all that we are. We consent to his gracious, transforming work
in our lives; we agree that He can work in us so that we’ll be willing
and able to do His will. In other words, we choose to let Him be God in
our lives. This is our greatest privilege, the highest thing we can do.
