"You are a chosen generation," the bible says, "His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light..." (1 Peter 2:9).
In the Old Testament, King David became a great man, a man after God's own heart. His driving passion was to praise GOD. He praised God when he was in trouble, when he was safe, whether he was sad or happy, when he saw God working, even when he had no idea what God was doing-he offered up his praise. He takes us to new heights in the book of Psalms and teaches us what it means to praise our Father in Heaven.
Many of the Psalms describe worship in the congregation of the saints, singing, dancing, shouting, drums, horns, cymbals, and harps.
Perhaps the most powerful Psalms show David's praise to God in a very personal way. "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God I have put my trust..." (Psalms 56:3-4).
No matter what the setting, whether David was in his room alone or dancing for all he was worth in front of the whole city, it was all done for an audience of ONE!!!
