These verse, I am sure, are just a few of God attitude toward our praise. Some are positive, others negative. Peace, John 4:24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Is 29:13 Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote, Is 43:23 "You have not brought to Me the sheep of your burnt offerings, Nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, Nor wearied you with incense. Is 43:24 "You have bought Me not sweet cane with money, Nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; Rather you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities. Is 1:11 "What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats. Is 1:12 "When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts? Is 1:13 "Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly. Is 1:14 "I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them. Is 1:15 "So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood. Is 1:16 "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, Is 1:17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. Mic 6:7 Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? Mic 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? 1 Sam 15:22 Samuel said, "Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 2 Ps 51:16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. Ps 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. 3 Ps 51:19 Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, In burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar. 4 Hos 6:6 For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Heb 13:15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. |

John 4:24 is not about praise, it is about worship. They are different words and actions. DO NOT mix the two. The other verses are about sacrifices, which is not praise either. | ||||||
4 | How God feels about praise | John 4:24 | Lionstrong | 71306 | ||
Hi Searcher, Ps 27:6 And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. My thinking was that in the OT church praise was offered through the sacrificial system. And it is hard to imagine worship without praise. Peace, |

Hi Searcher, Happy New Year! You wrote, " Abraham (Gen 22:5) and David (2 Sam 12:20) are two examples of worship without praise. When Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman (John 4), there is not talk about praise." Gen 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you." How do you know from this that Abraham did not praise God in his worship? And after God spared Abraham's son, how could he not praise God? 2 Sam 12:2 says, "The rich man had a great many flocks and herds." Do you worship God without praising him? Peace, |

I can worship God, that is getting prostrate before Him, without praising Him ... as well as praise Him without worshipping Him. What is your definition of worship/ Since there is no praise in the context of Gen 22:5 or 2 Sam 12:20 (not 2 Sam 12:2 - your typo), I say there is no praise. |
