Through out my life i've been told I don't 'Praise God correctly" i don't understand how i can praise him wrong, but apparently i do. I believe strongly that singing, and music, to me, is the voice of God. It speaks to me. My favorite psalms is 100. But i've always been told that music isn't praising God, its jsut worshiping his amazing power. I disagree. I mean i pray, and go to church and do all that. i read the bible, i've studied its verses, etc. But music... i don't know. I could read a verse, and feel his presence somewhere near, but when i sing the words, or hear the sung, i just... i dunno i feel like he is with me, and i feel when i sing i am doing all i can to praise him because i am using a talent he bestowed upon me... for him.
Am i wrong to think this way?
how do you praise Him?
Have you ever been told you weren't praising Him right?
Do you think there is a right and wrong way?

There isn't a right and wrong way. Everyone has their own way of praising Him. Some dance, some sing, some run the aisles and jump pews. (ie: Rod Parsley). That's why there are so many different types of Christian music. Because we all praise him in a different way.
As for being told that, we've never been told we're praising God incorrectly, but I think it's been hinted at a few times. We were also told that gospel music is the Devil's music, to which my dad replied "I didn't know the Devil liked music that praised God".

I think the best way to praise God is to simply live a good life and be thankful for the things you have and to make sure your loved ones and friends know that they are loved by God and yourself. We praise God everytime we smile, laugh or just enjoy our lives.
Anyway; that's what I think.
