Why do we lift our hand(s)?
Why do we clap our hands?
Why do we jump?
Why do we dance?
Why do we sing and shout?
When it was first introduced to the world, a lot of Christians think that it was wrong, sesat, and unholy in the presence of the Lord. But a bunch of Christians pushed on, they can’t help it but to dance like David danced. Not long after, a lot of people realized how great it is to actually be free in His presence!
“therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed!” – John 8:36 (NKJV)
We are free indeed!
There are no limitations to how people should worship God as long as it’s with their whole heart. But sadly to a lot of people, and maybe us, we limit ourselves. We have the paradigm to not get to fanatic when worshipping God. We say that, “I can still feel God, worship God, and magnify God even without all the clapping and jumping.. as long as my heart is right”
True enough, I can do that too. But why do that when you can give so much more?!
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” – Mark 12:30 (NIV)>
Why did God mentioned strength? While God mentioned heart, soul, and mind.. the only fleshy thing He mentioned was strength. Why? Because He knows that we’ve got so much more to offer as a human however old you are.
I once saw a man on a wheelchair.. he was paralyzed from neck to feet with only very little capable movement.. yet he lifted up his hand whenever He worship God. He gave all of his strength!
What about us? Young, healthy and not on a wheelchair? I don’t know about you but I’m giving my everything while I still have the chance!
Let’s give our whole heart, soul, mind, and even strength whenever we worship God. Make it the best expression of love from yourself to God. Remind Him of how much you are in love with Him and touch His heart.
God bless you. Be free!
