Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional For Friday 3rd September 2021
Have you ever wondered why oftentimes,
people look towards the sky when we say,
“Let us pray?” It’s actually an outward show of an inner
truth, of something spiritual, because the Father isn’t
in the sky but inside us He lives in you. So, don’t get
confused by the motions and outward expressions
and gesticulations.
Psalm 141:2 says, “Let my prayer be set forth
before thee as incense and the lifting up of my hands
as the evening sacrifice.” When David, a prophet
of God, wrote this, he was well acquainted with the
priesthood ministry of the Old Testament in the old
tabernacle. He spoke prophetically and likened the
evening sacrifice in the Old Testament to the lifting of
our hands in worship today.
Also, the Bible says, “Lift up your hands in the
sanctuary, and bless the LORD” (Psalm 134:2). The
Apostle Paul reiterated the same thing he understood
the importance of lifting our hands in worship when
he said by the Spirit, “I will therefore that men pray
everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and
doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8).
When your hands are lifted up in worship, you’re
affirming that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has made you free from death and the law of sin you’re
affirming your liberty, joy, access into God’s presence
and your oneness with Him. You’re not trying to “reach
out” to God as though He were far away He’s in you,
you’re in Him and you know it. Blessed be God!
Confession
Dear Father, I lift my hands to you today in holiness,
to bless and adore you for your love, righteousness
and grace! I’m forever grateful that the Holy Spirit
has made His permanent abode in my heart. He lives
in me in His fullness, and fulfils His ministry in me,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
