There’s something essential to the idea of praising God. Praise is a foundational aspect of love. We cannot help but feel compelled to speak out when we acknowledge that we are memories by something. In fact, it is one of the prime ways in which we can judge ourselves and others in regard to affection. The descendants of Korah present a specific type of praise. It is praise connected to action. In other words, they speak of how God is praise worthy by human standards. This may seem to be somewhat disingenuous, especially in today’s lackluster praise culture. We often think of praise as a mere description of our emotions toward God. We speak mainly of how he makes us feel. But the psalmists speak mainly of why he ought to be praised. They speak of what he has done for them and will do. This praise is not general. It is specific. It isn’t written in order to be true for every creed, country or people. It is only radio friendly when isogeted and broken into parts. Our praise ought not be isogeted. It should imply a relationship with God that is specific and has a real history that gives context for our emotions. This is how the best love songs are written. It ought to be the way praise songs are as well. Let us be specific in our praise.
