“Praise the Lord, O my soul!”
(Ps.146:1)
Praise is an evidence of life, not just physical life, but the life of God in the heart. In heaven, it is all praise; In hell, there is no praise; here on earth, you must make a choice.

Praise the Lord, He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him
