Is there any reason to sing God's praise? There are many- but one stands out for most people as above the others.
"I will sing of the Lord's unfailing love forever. With my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations." Psalm 89:1
I WILL SING
The writer of the psalm is compelled to sing the Lord's praises. This doesn't just happen; he has an understanding and experience of God, and that is the only way that he can say such things.
UNFAILING LOVE
God's love is not like ours. Our love is fickle and changes with the seasons and circumstances, it is only as strong as our personal character, and it is as weak as our abilities. God's love is unfailing; he would not be God if his love failed. He is infinite all-powerful and all-knowing, therefore, His love cannot fail since it must also be infinite and reflect His perfect nature.
FAITHFULNESS
God is love* but faithfulness is what he does; as The Holy God, He has chosen to be faithful. We may break our oath and fail to keep our word but God is not like us he will never break his promise to be faithful. As the Almighty One, He has all abilities to keep His word. He is holy, so He will never break His promise or else He would cease to be holy.
SING
We can sing Our Heavenly Father's praises forever because He lives forever and when we come to God through Jesus, His promised sin-bearer, we have the promise of eternal life.
The promise of freedom from sin's judgment and eternal life is a great reason to worship but the greater reason to worship God is God himself- because of who He is, therefore, He is most worthy of praise.
*1 John 4:8
