Our worship experience...
Might
involve things you aren't used to, such as raising hands,
kneeling, clapping, or even crying.
Yet these and other expressions are simply a natural
reaction to God's presence and are found throughout
the scriptures.
Lifting Up Hands
As the worship
begins and the Holy Spirit touches hearts, an attitude
of thanksgiving and surrender sometimes causes us to
lift our hands.
(
Psalm 63:4, Psalm 134:2)
Clapping Hands
There are times
of great joy and celebration in the church, and clapping
hands is a way for us to praise God.
(Psalm 47:1)
Kneeling, Weeping and Rejoicing
As
we realize who we are, compared to the awesomeness of
God Almighty, kneeling can become a natural expression
of meekness, humility and submission. Worshipping God
can elicit both joy and tears.
(
Psalm 149:2, Psalm 95:6)
