It's a term that in essence means the redirecting of our affections and our adoration. Because there are various interrelating expressions of worship, let us briefly look at those expressions to better understand the place of worship in our daily lives.
Praise is one important part of worship.
We must understand that praise is not motivated by emotion, but by our choice. What this Scripture is saying is that it actually befits God's people, and is a becoming characteristic to be a people of joyfulness and praise. We praise Him for who He is, not for the circumstances. We recognise that He is greater than any situation, and give Him our praise even in the midst of troubles. Praise can also be a powerful weapon when properly understood.
