Why Praise God?

Psalms 150:1 

Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

Questions in Galatians:

Are you foolish?

Galatians 3:3 

Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

Have you suffered so many things in vain:

Galatians 3:4 

Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing?

Free:

Free heart - 

2 Chronicles 29:31 

Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to the LORD. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the temple of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.

Free Spirit  -

Psalms 51:12 

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Contrasted use of the tongue:

Proverbs 10:10-14 

10 He who winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool comes to ruin.

11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.

14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
