Praising God in the storm

We have a great opportunity to glorify God on the earth to give thanks to Him, all the time.

Some may say that they will wait until heaven to praise God, they speak as if God needs an extra heavenly host in heaven to praise Him.
With one word He can create billions of them, (psalms 33-6)

He has all the angels bowing down at His feet. All praising Him.

The question is why am I here on this Earth and not there in heaven?

This is simply because God choose you.

He wants you to glorify Him on this planet called Earth.

Surely the heavenly creatures are in constant praises but the difference is that they are in His constant presence!

They worship God because of His glorious wonders, His overwhelmingly love, His awesomeness.

Here on earth,  we don't have very little of God's presence, not much of His great wonders except for His creation.

Here on earth, we can only read stories of His miraculous wonders.

But does this merit such praise and worship that we should give up everything and not even be able to perform our daily tasks?

Should we, who have not seen God, praise Him so much as the heavenly creatures? Certainly not!

Nevertheless, He requires us to worship Him in a different form.

We are to worship Him, not by His image or creation,in fact, He considers it as idolatry. But His great wonders through divine revelation , through faith in Him and His begotten Son.

But why is it better to read a book of a great vacation rather than be a part of it. To catch a glimpse of Him through His Word and revelation without seeing the real person?

We have yet to see heaven but what if the greatest opportunity we have now is to glorify Him here and not after?

What if in the storm is now even more better. When God's presence seems distance, yet we praise Him?

God, with the heavenly hosts, all bowing down before Himcannot help but to look to the one who has little yet still praises.

I think this will touch His heart.

Question: What is the reason man exist? (Ephesians, 1:12.)
