Psalm 134:2- “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord.”
Were you were brought up in a conservative Christian home like I was?
Did you attend a conservative church like I did?
Then, for a moment, would you consider breaking out of your comfort zone?
What’s holding you back from worshipping God with your whole heart, soul and hands?
I took the challenge several years ago. I can only attest to my own experience. It was profound and continues to be to this day.
For me it wasn’t electrifying in a physical sense, but for the first time I felt a unique connection—a drawing of spirit to Spirit.
Some who have spent an extended period of time in prayer or meditation, or those who have fasted have told of similar experiences to mine—a “peaceful exhilaration” (my term).
And, more than that, I experience a bonding… a linking together with the one true God. He doesn’t just soak up my praise. He joins with me as we experience together his goodness, holiness, and majesty.
Your experience will perhaps be uniquely yours, but I encourage you to give your whole being over to the praise of our Creator, Savior, and Lord.
