Praising God

I saw this nice, but convicting, little quote from J.D. Hatfield on Milton's blog:
"We praise [God], not to get something, but because He IS something."

Hmm... yeah, there oughta be an exclamation point at the end of that. Or else it should say "We SHOULD praise God... because He is something." I am way too guilty of wanting to use God, or blame God, or argue with God.... and seldom do I simply praise him for who he really is. It makes me wonder... if we're doing stuff *for* God, without understanding this quote, are we really serving God, or simply serving ourselves?

That last question is a tough one and one worth pondering...
