Why raise our hands? Why clap? Why sing? Dancing... Say what? Why Why Why?? There are always questions surrounding worship. For years I heard a pastor say "you can get excited for football but not for God?" And I never really thought about it until I really started getting excited about God, excited about worship! This saying is so true. The most quiet reserved man or woman for that matter in church can be one of the craziest sports fans around. They yell, scream, do the wave... and even paint there body.
Im not asking anyone to come with their body painted but I am asking why can you be so excited about "your" team that really isn't that good anyway and you may know all the stats but don't know any one on the team but not about Jesus our Savior!! How about God who is the creator of all. He has no beginning or end. There have been times in all our lives where we have been more excited about something else besides God, but as we realize it we need to learn to refocus.
Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! Ps 47:1
Let them praise His name with dancing, making melody to Him with tambourine and lyre!
Ps 149:3
Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. Ps 33:3
Yes these are from the bible! Its ok. You are free, you have been set free. Worship with all your heart! I encourage you to try something new in this area. If your not a clapper, try it. Maybe you have thought about raising your hands, go for it!! And maybe, just maybe you have felt like moving just a little. You know you have felt like dancing!! Why not, what have we got to loose? Dance with all your might!
