Why is praising God seen as foolishness by the world?

Answered in 1 source

Praising God is often viewed as foolishness by the world because it prioritizes faith over reason.

The world often considers the act of praising God as foolishness because it goes against human reasoning and the natural inclination to rely on empirical evidence. As seen in the context of the sermon, the psalm encourages exuberant expressions of worship that may appear nonsensical to those who do not share the faith. In the eyes of the world, fervent worship may seem irrational; however, for believers, such expressions are a reflection of genuine joy and awe in the presence of an Almighty God. Embracing the idea that we might appear foolish for Christ’s sake becomes a testament to our faith and conviction in His truth, underscoring that the wisdom of God often confounds the wisdom of the world.
