Praises and the All-sufficiency of God

The praises of God bring us to the all-sufficiency of God:  “Ask…seek…knock.  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Mt. 7:7-11).  They show us the holiness of God which is unattainable by works:  “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1Pe. 2:9).  They draw us to the compassion of God which calls us even closer than we have been before:  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Mt. 11:28-30).
