Who is worthy to receive honor and glory and blessing and praise? We are not worthy in the smallest part.

Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
We do cheer for those who accomplish great feats, in our eyes. We know that there is no equal to God's great feats, but we give human champions their due, so to speak.
God doesn't need our encouragement to be as excellent as He is. God is God.
Psalm 117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
Oh that God's praise were exuberant as that football stand that I saw yesterday. Multiplied praise and worship belongs to God. Are they stealing it or just borrowing it? We steal it, when we think that it is really all about us. We borrow it when we give as much worship to God as is poured upon us. It All Belongs to You Lord, i.e. The praise in the stands, the praise in silent private admirations. God deserves it all. It is Satan who attempts to take the glory of God and pour it on somebody else to draw her aside unto his end. When we are privy to Satans devices, it should make us worship more heartily, the God, who has paid the price for our salvation and gone the full distance with our sins in his hands to pay their steep price for access to the presence of God! Halleluia, what a Savior!
