Worship Devotional - "God Inhabits Your Praise"

Key Scripture: "But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel." - Psalm 22:3

Reflection

God inhabits the praises of His people. Other translations convey the idea of God being enthroned in the midst of our praises. He is always enthroned whether we praise Him or not, but when we praise Him, we personally enthrone Him in our lives.

The Hebrew word for "inhabit" means to abide together (like in a marriage), to sit down and preside with the idea of judgment. Biblical praise gives God the right to inhabit our lives, much like we share life with a marriage partner. It allows Him to judge and correct everything that displeases Him so He can achieve His ultimate goal of making us like Jesus.
