uplifted

1 Tim. 2:8
I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

Lifting hands in prayer and worship is a common practice throughout the Christian world (other faiths, as well). In the Bible, the word for “thanksgiving,” is literally, “lift up your hands.”

When we lift up our hands we show God there is nothing in them and all that we receive comes from him. When we lift up our hands it’s as if we are pointing out a magnificent work of art and saying, “Wow!”

God is magnificent. God is good. I lift my hands to his majesty.

Pray with hands uplifted today.
