Bible Question (short): Are praise and worship different? |
Question (full): Dear Steve and Nolan, Lifting up of hands is not a way that I personally choose to worship God. However, I have known many people whom I respect who do choose to worship that way, and it seems to bring them into closer communion with God. I am curious about your definition of worship Steve. If I understand your post, you agree that lifting of hands can be related to praising God (Psalm 134 below). However you say that this is not worship. I always thought that praising God was one form of worship. Could you please explain the differences that you see between them. Psalm 134 1: Come, bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD, who stand by night in the house of the LORD! 2: Lift up your hands to the holy place, and bless the LORD! 3: May the LORD bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth! |
