Praise is any form of recognition that someone or something is beautiful or excellent in its kind. Praise is spontaneous and natural and good. People who are slow to praise are curmudgeonly and unpleasant to be with. They must find it hard to get along with themselves. Praise is a Christian virtue and necessary for a Christian.
Praise is the mark of a humble, thoughtful soul.
It is the cure for cynicism and gloom. Because the Lord is supremely good and beautiful. He is the source of everything good and beautiful and strong in this world. Praise of the Lord is simple, saving truth. One thing I ask of the Lord.
