Subject: Should we lift our hands in praise and |
Bible Note: I've been challenged lately on my position that it's wrong to criticize others for showing such emotion on the assumption that they want to put on a show for others, much like the Phariseees. I still believe that any posture is correct as long as it comes from a pure heart, even..."a-standin on my head" mentioned in the poem. And there have been times when I felt the need to lift hands to God, especially when I find a quiet place alone with my Lord. Even though I don't usually lift my hands in a general assembly just because everyone else is, I think it's wrong to assume others do it for the wrong reason. It "lifts" me spiritually to see others lifting holy hands, so I was curious about whether or not many are opposed to this practice. Thanks for the input. |
