Therefore, praise is the most useful occupation and activity in enabling God to realize the supreme goal of the universe, that of bringing many sons to glory. There are so many values from praise, even in a practical way, that we could not even begin to enumerate them. One or two samples will help us to see what is meant. First, the worship and praise of God demands a shift of center from self to God. This itself is therapeautic.
Praise produces forgetfuness of self and forgetfulness of self brings health.
When a Spirit-filled Christian turns from depression to God in worship and praise, a healing process begins. One simply cannot praise God and sulk. Praise and irritation cannot coexist. Secondly, for some reason, Satan fears praise even more than prayer. We have seen that God dwells in an aura, an atmosphere, of praise.
