Psalm 47:7 "For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise." (NIV)
What is Praise?
"Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger."
-Psalm 8:2 (NKJV)
Now look in the second line at the word "ordained"
Ordained means created for a purpose
God doesn't need our praise, though he loves our praise
God doesn't depend on Praise
Why? - Psalm 8:2
-Because we have an enemy.
This enemy is spiritual, therefore we need a spiritual weapon:
This weapon is: Praise, Power, and Worship
Implementing that back into Psalm 8:2, look at the last line.
'Praise silences the enemy (foes) and stills the avenger.'
Enemy (foes)
The enemy we once faced in the past
Avenger
The enemy we face now
The purpose of Praise is war
Praise is war (Spiritually)
Praise is NOT the same as worship!
