Praise God!

"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is...  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name."                                                                         
(Psalms 63:1, 4 KJV)
  
     How do you praise the Lord?   How often do you praise the Lord?  Do you lift your arms toward heaven to praise the Lord?  Praising the Lord, Our Awesome God, means you are praying (talking) to Him and it seems a natural thing to praise Him at times and to lift your arms toward heaven.  When we do this, it is a sign of our reverence, our adoration and our surrender to God.  The lifting of arms toward heaven was used in some of the sacrifices the Israelites offered to God such as the one David writes about in Psalms 141:2.

     You know by this act of lifting your arms, you are surrendering to Our Awesome God and giving Him your trust.  He will take control and things will proceed as God knows they should.  And you, you will feel a deep peace because it is no longer a problem that you are trying to control, it is God's to do His way.   But God wants you to tell Him that you want help. That you trust Him!  So lift up those arms and praise Him.  Tell Him how wonderful He is.  You'll love the results!

     Occasionally there are some people in a church who have never lifted their arms, never put their total trust in Our Awesome God and never just worshipped Him by surrendering it all to Him.  These people can get a little emotional, especially the first time they release all those emotions they have harbored for years and give control into God's Hands.  Love these people!  They are our Lord's children and our siblings.   Praise our God any way you want because He will know what you are feeling and what you are expressing.   Amen! 
  
​      You can never praise Our Awesome God too much.  Think of all He has done from creating you, to forgiving you, to sending Jesus Christ to be a sacrifice for your sins and then adopting you into His Family when you become a Christian.  He wants only the best for you.  Praise His Holy Name!
