Raise your hands
Ya know, I been thinkin tonight. I was listening to a song that really touches my soul and it compels me to hold my hands in the air. I know it's not only me that feels this way though. I have been to concerts before and there's alot of songs that touch people in a way they feel compelled to raise their hands to the sky. But why is it? What causes this? In my opinion, for me, it is because it's a song that connects to me so dearly it's an innate urge I can't suppress or refuse to suppress. Interestingly enough, this is how God wants us to worship him. He wants us to connect with him so dearly that we cannot stop the compulsion to raise our hands in the air in complete spiritual surrender. These thoughts intrigue me though because 1) it does seem to be a natural response to a deep connection 2) music can illicit such a response, which indicates to me that music really does touch your soul and 3) God wants us to be this passionate about his worship that we connect and feel compelled to raise our hands. Enjoy music, worship passionately and don't be afraid to throw your hands up, even at church!
