Kept From Praising Ourselves

"If we praise God as we ought, we shall be kept from praising ourselves. Surely that is good. I have heard that most self-made men are very apt to praise their maker; indeed we are all liable to sing the praises of self. The sure way of escaping this danger is to fill your heart and mouth with praise to God." (The Biblical Illustrator) In our teaching today, we saw from the word of God that the #1 reason why we praise God is because He is good! We also learned that we praise Him because it is good for us to do so! To not praise Him is to defraud Him of that which He has a just claim to.
