"But You Are Holy,
Enthroned In The Praises Of Israel"
Psalm 22:3
Another important principle in praise is the enthroning principle. The Lord inhabits, or dwells in; or is enthroned upon our praise.
In other words, our praises become a throne for our King. All the authority and majesty of the King is present in our most humble offerings. When we stop to think about that, it is awesome! He could choose to sit on some glorious planet somewhere that He created just for Himself - with sights and sounds that far exceed aything we could ever imagine. Instead, He is seated with us as we minister praises before Him. He has chosen us. We are the objects of His longing. We are His preferred dwelling place. When we praise Him, we become the sweetest and most desirable place for the Lord to dwell.
As we worship, we can sing praises over nations, cities and governments. We have the royal authority to proclaim God's dominion and kingdom in places far and near simply by lifting our voice and giving glory and honor to our King. He Who is enthroned in our praise will make Himself known through us. His glory will fill the earth as His glory fills and flows through the proclaim praisers.

In the midst of God's throne is His angels, the prayers of saints, His anointing. Praise definitely brings us in good company. Thanks for this devotion.
