If god is omnipotent, all-knowing, and so INNATELY perfectly that we cannot even visualize in our minds the awesomeness that he possess,
how can his actions, concerning mankind, be regarded as so praise worthy?
his existence is perfect, he feels no desire to do bad because he is goodness incarnate.
any action, be it the creation of the universe, or the favor of delivering humans through adversity, requires no more than a mere snap of the fingers from him.
the only thing that you could argue is "hard" for god is watching his people commit immoral, unwise acts, but of course, he would see alot less of that kind of behavior on earth if he hadn't displaced economicall resources so unfairly on earth, or let tens of billions people believe in incorrect faiths (Islam, etc) that were passed on to them historically and culturally by their ancestors.
what is so hard about being god?
It seems harder to be a human living on this imperfect earth that it is to be an all-powerfull deity

The fact that humanity commits immoral acts in full view of God, that there are false religions throughout the world and the unequal distribution of resources for humanity's survival is not God's fault at all. God has given each of us the choice to love Him or not, to follow Him or not, to be with Him forever or not. If we refuse to choose the way God says we should choose for our own well-being, and ultimately so we can have a personal relationship with Him, then it's our fault that we botch up. It's not God's fault at all. He gave us free will. We used our free will to make poor choices. God is worthy of our praise no matter what lousy, stupid choices we make, and only He can pull us out of the mess we've gotten ourselves into.

He is worthy of all our praise because He died for us eventhough we do not deserve it and by doing so, He paid for our sins by dying in our place. He did not have to because He was the only perfect and sinless person who ever lived. He did it so that all who will receive Him as Lord and Savior, will inherit eternal life now and in Heaven. I can't think of a better reason to praise God.. "No greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for another." and "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." and "We love God because He first loved us." and "For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Worthy is the Lamb who took away the sins of the world. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

hi. i'd think of that the God who created rain, food, laughter, friendships, mountain peeks, otters, rivers, and prefer to be worth of my compliment. a lot of human beings on the instant compliment earnings $$. i'd compliment feeding harmless babies who starve. i'd compliment loving your neighbor as your self. Jehovah God's concepts if accompanied would do those very issues. besides the indisputable fact that the international we live in does not discover Jehovah God praiseworthy and hence babies starve the earth is warming, water is polluted. The e book of Revelation says this at Revelation 11:18 God will convey to wreck those ruining the earth. that's worth of compliment.

He is God and you are not. You look up and say "why God?" from your minute human perspective that comes and goes in about 80 years.
He is infinite and knows absolutely everything, and has the foresight to know why this is the best way to do things to achieve His goals of having a godly people.
When we are dead, we will live in His immediate presence, and we will be rejoined with our bodies which will then be transformed into perfection. All the stuff you are complaining about will be over then, and maybe that is when we'll begin our understanding about why God chose to supernaturally intervene in particular affairs of man or not.

When I see a beautiful piece of art, I praise the artist. When I read a book that thrills me, I praise the author. When I am dazzled by the graceful figure skating champion, I praise the skater and her skills.
God is praiseworthy because He has done wonderful things. It doesn't matter how easy it is for God to do these things. I millionaire can easily donate a few thousand to a need charity, and they would be right to honor him for his generosity. God has done good to those He has redeemed. He is worthy of all their praise.
He has saved me from hell. Praise His name!
He has brought me into a loving relationship with His Son. Praise the Lord!
He has washed me from all my sins by the offering of His Son. Praise Jesus!
He is coming again to rule in righteousness. Praise God!
He has offered hope to all who will put their faith in Jesus. Praise the Lord!
He adopts into His family all who believe in Jesus. Praise the Father for making me His child!

my dear first person who answered this...
God knew that Adam had sinned, he also knew where Adam was. He asked Adam where He was because He wanted to see if Adam was telling the truth.
God is my creator, my redeemer, my Good Shepherd, my Saviour, my God, my King, He is my All in all....
Believe in Him. He is omnipotent, omnipresent and omnisient.

You are blaming God, yet ignoring the influence of Satan.
If it were not for Satan's evil influence on people, using LOVE of money [ not money itself], sexual immorality and FALSE RELIGION, people could be norman and actually compassion for each other.

Here is what I know. My life was a mess, I was a total loser, there was no reason for God to care anything about me. He sent his son to die that my sins would be forgiven and He has turned my life around, healed me, set me free and given me joy and peace. I do not care what anyone else wants to do, but He has my praise, love, and devotion forever.

If god was perfect then an educated person would ask why god asked where Adam was in then book of Genesis. Wouldn't god have already known?

No way any god that created this place could be considered omnipotent or omniscient. If so God is a cruel, cruel bastard.
