But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3
When worshiping the Lord, we often raise our hands.
Why? Absolute surrender. Acknowledging God is God and we are not.
Proclaiming His holiness. Bringing ourselves to Him as an offering.
As we lift our hands to heaven in worship, God comes down.
Psalm 22:3 reminds us God inhabits our praise. Chooses to manifest His glory and power amid our worship.
Picture your hands raised to heaven.
As your voice lifts your song in worship, God reaches down to you.
His hands clasp yours, filling you with Himself.
He receives your worship as His glory comes down to you.
A holy exchange.
That picture jumped into my head today as we worshipped at church.
If I could bring you into my head, you’d get the full picture I wish I could correctly share.
It was beautiful. Comforting. Full of strength.
God longs to fill us with more of Him.
He is so worthy to be praised.
The next time you sing in worship to Him, raise those hands.
Give Him all of you as He reaches down to give you more of Him.
