Praise is an act of worship or acknowledgment by which the virtues or deeds of another are recognized and extolled. The praise of man toward man, although often beneficial, can be a snare to man.

Be careful not to parade your good deeds before men to attract their notice; by doing this you will lose all reward from the Father in heaven. So, when you give alms, do not have it trumpeted before you; this is what the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win men admiration. I tell you solemnly, they have had their reward. But when you give alms, your left hand must not know what your right is doing; your alms-giving must be secret and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you. - Matt. 6:1-4 -

But the praise of God toward man is the highest commendation a person can receive. Such an act of praise reflects a true servant's heart.

Now you too, in him,
have heard the message of the truth and the good news of your salvation,
and have believed it;
and you too have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,
the pledge of our inheritance
which brings freedom for those whom God has taken for his own,
to make his glory praised. - Eph. 1:13-14 -

The praise of man toward God is the means by which we express our joy to the Lord. We are to praise God both for who He is and for what He does. Praising God for who He is called adoration; praising Him for what He does is known as thanksgiving. Praise of God may be in prayer or song, individually or collectively, spontaneous or prearranged, originating from the emotions or from the will. - Psalms 150 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
