Why to Praise God?
Because
1.Praise Makes us Happy:
Have you ever realized a time when you praised someone and how happy have you felt?or somebody praised you and how you felt? There are times when we are too much into ourselves that we do not try to find any points to praise others. But if you sincerely try and do an experiment, you will obviously find out that when you praise someone it makes you extremely happy. You feel excited to the happiness of others. And obviously when you know in and out goodness of a person and praise, your praise helps you raise yourselves higher because you learn to value the goodness of others.
Just imagine a time when you are praising God all the time, you heart will be lifted up, your soul will be nourished and you will find that praising God makes you extremely happy. God is the source of all things above and beneath. He has created us. He knows what we are and where we are heading to. He has created us that we worship Him and bring glory to His name. Every praise to His name brings joy and happiness to our life. The Heavenly beings praise God in adoration for they know the in and out of God. They know the supreme power of God, His majesty, His loving Kindness. They are unable to keep themselves quiet because their hearts are full of gratitude for the joy the have in company of God. The four beast near the Throne of God says " Holy,Holy, Holy" day and night. The 24 elders around the throne of God sing in joy and admiration " You are worthy of our praise, Lord God almighty" . They sing and rejoice in His name because it makes them happy. The angels happily does theier duties and praises God because they find their join in doing that.So let us praise God because that will make us happy too and will keep us nearer to heavenly home.
2. Praise makes us what we are
A tree is identified by the fruit it bears. So also our praises tells us what we are and where we belong. It identifies ourselves and tells us what we are possessed with. It tells us what is within us. Our outer attitude is what is inside of us. When we praise God, we can reflect that we are His. When God is our source of everything and we identify ourselves with Him, We find a permanent address of eternal life. If we praise God, It becomes clear that our happiness is from Him. And it surely tells us that we are the inhabitants of heavenly home. We are to ask ourselves, who do we praise? Do we praise God or something else? It is a question that must be asked sincerely. If our answer is not God, then we must reconsider our life and reconsider our ways. God desires that we praise His name, Because in Him lies our all identities. Why should we be identified with something that cannot save our soul when we have a great opportunites to be sons and daughters of God. If we identify ourselves with Him, we will find the joy that never ends, our ways and thoughts will be changed, Our hearts will be in tune with goodness, Our minds will be enriched, Life will be a miracle for God will be with us every moment. Thus why to wander in other things to identifiy ourselves when we can identify with our Father, Our God, who can stand always besides us in times of sandess or pain, trials or tempations, joy and goodness. Let's walk with Him and Praise Him and This will make us the heavenly Inhabitants forever.

Just imagine that you have found pearls at the ocean floor! Once you have discover this precious things, you will look forward to find more and more. You will not stop until you can get all of it. What about if you find diamond while you are searching for pearls? You will surely keep on searching for more and more treasures. When you praise God and find that He is the wonderful God, that He has the power to change things, you will be excited, you will keep on searching.
