Psalms 100 The difference between
Praise and Worship
You shall worship the Lord your God,
and Him ONLY shall you serve
Deuteronomy 6:13
Praise is the joyful recounting of all
God has done for us. It is closely
intertwined with thanksgiving as we
offer back to God appreciation for His
mighty works on our behalf. Praise can
be a feature of other relationships as
well. We can praise our family, friends,
boss, or paperboy. Praise does not
require anything of us. It is merely the
truthful acknowledgment of the
righteous acts of another. Since God
has done many wonderful deeds, He is
worthy of praise (Psalm 18:3).
Worship comes from a different place
within our spirits. Worship should be
reserved for God alone (Luke 4:8).
Worship is the art of losing self in the
adoration of another. Praise can be a
part of worship, but worship goes
beyond praise. Praise is easy; worship
is not. Worship gets to the heart of
who we are. To truly worship God, we
must let go of our self-worship. We
must be willing to humble ourselves
before God, surrender every part of
our lives to His control, and adore Him
for who He is, not just what He has
done. Worship is a lifestyle, not just an
occasional activity. Jesus said the
Father is seeking those who will
worship Him "in spirit and in truth"
(John 4:23).
In Scripture, praise is usually
presented as boisterous, joyful, and
uninhibited. God invites praise of all
kinds from His creation. Jesus said that
if people don’t praise God, even the
"stones will cry out" (Luke 19:40).
When the Bible mentions worship,
however, the tone changes. We read
verses like, "Worship the Lord in the
beauty of holiness" (Psalm 96:9). And,
"Come let us worship and bow down"
(Psalm 95:6). Often, worship is
coupled with the act of bowing or
kneeling, which shows humility and
contrition (2 Chronicles 29:28;
Hebrews 11:21; Revelation 19:10). It
is through true worship that we invite
the Holy Spirit to speak to us, convict
us, and comfort us. Through worship,
we realign our priorities with God’s
and acknowledge Him once more as
the rightful Lord of our lives.
Just as praise is intertwined with
thanksgiving, worship is intertwined
with surrender. It is impossible to
worship God and anything else at the
same time (Luke 4:8). The physical
acts often associated with worship—
bowing, kneeling, lifting hands—help
to create the necessary attitude of
humility required for real worship.
Wise worship leaders know how to
structure a worship service to allow
participants to both praise and
worship the Lord. Often, services
begin with joyous praise songs and
transition to a quieter, more
introspective opportunity for worship.
Worship is an attitude of the heart. A
person can go through the outward
motions and not be worshiping (Psalm
51:16-17; Matthew 6:5-6). God sees
the heart, and He desires and
deserves sincere, heartfelt praise and
worship.
