Shalom! God said that whosoever praise Him, glorify Him, and whosoever order his conservation aright will see the salvation of God (Psalm 50: 23). The word conversation here means manner of life - not an exchange of words or discussion.
Praise and worship is one way to express our love to God. Our manner of life is another way to do it, and we're supposed to have both in place in our lives. How can we order our lives aright? (By leading our lives according to the Word of God). Jesus puts it this way, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Find out what His Word requires of you and do it,
Psalm 91: 14-16
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Some of the rewards of loving God are those two ways listed in the above verses of the 91st Psalm.
In 2 Chronicles 5, the people of Israel and the Priests worshipped God so much so that it caused a manifestation of God's glory and presence to take place. It was so much that the Priests and the people could no longer stand to worship. The Presence of God filled the whole auditorium. It was so much! The Bible says, "... the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God" (2 Chronicles 5: 14). That's what happens when we trully worship God in spirit and in truth. Sometimes His glory strongly manifests in such a way that people who are worshipping will be overwhelmed by His presence and will just begin to collapse on the ground with tears streaming out of their eyes. I've seen it, I've experienced it. If you've not, it's time you do.
Till next time, God bless.
