AMPLIFIED 2015 | Psalm 134:2 Lift up your hands to the sanctuary And bless the LORD. |
Subject: Praise to him!!! |
Bible Note: Grace, Although the verse in Psalms has to do with the servants of the sanctuary, I see a two-fold blessing in the raising of hands unto our Lord. Jesus said not to restrict the little ones to come unto him, and so, because of their innocence. Thus I see a toddler coming up to his/her parent and raising their hands toward them without saying a word and immediately the parent reaches down and picks up the infant. The infant needs close affection at that time and the parent is more than willing to give it. That is how I also see it with the Lord. I raise my hands to Him because I know He is my provider and I trust and love Him; in turn, He lifts me up into His arms and comforts me. What more can words say; the lifting of hands toward our Father says more words than can be printed. Paul exhorts us to do this also in his letter to Timothy, 1Ti 2:8 (KJV) "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting." eklektos |
