Neither joy nor sorrow but song is the ground plan of being. It is the quintessence of life. To praise is to call forth the promise and presence of the divine. We live for the sake of a song. We praise for the privilege being.
Worship is the climax of living.
There is no knowledge without love, no truth without praise. At the beginning was the song, and praise is man's response to the never-ending beginning. It might be easier if we really understood what the word adore meant. We have to go outside the Bible for the definition, because the word never appears in the Bible. Another word we could use is a well-used English word.
