Praise Just Because

I know, I know... Two posts in one day- miracles!!!

A friend testified in church a which back, and it's still working on me. I have to share. Why do we praise God? Is it because we want/need Him to do something? When Paul and Silas were in prison, they praised and sang praises at midnight. They had absolutely no idea what God was going to do. They praised and sang just because they could. Just because God is good all the time, no matter the circumstances. Just because He's worthy. Just because they loved Him. How many other times had they been in that same position and still praised? This time was different because we read that God broke them out of jail. But they didnt know He was going to when they began to hum a tune, then eventually broke out into full blown singing. They praised just because, not because they expected to get something in return.

Salut!
