Praise That Fits His Greatness

Commentators like Charles Spurgeon emphasize that the level of our praise should correspond to the level of God's greatness. Because God is infinitely great, He is worthy of infinite praise. This means we can never praise Him too much or go to excess in our adoration, as our highest worship will always fall short of His immeasurable worth.
