More on Praise and Worship

There is a difference between praise and worship.

Praise is usually a fast-tempo style of music. It is our elevation of joy that is offered up to our Father, God. When we sing a praise song, we are displaying our happiness that we serve such a mighty, merciful, and awesome God.

Worship is an unselfish act of adoration. We get gratitude from swooning our Father, just as two people who are in love would experience, and when we sing worship songs—it’s all about Him.

When we attended dances long ago, what type of tempo music was used before everyone was asked to go home (“Last call for alcohol.” Don’t play like you don’t remember). The most common song was “Good Night Sweetheart”? It was a slow song.

We shouldn’t jerk God around either. Slow then fast, or fast then slow, and then fast again. A praise and worship leader has to lead the people into the presence of Almighty God. Worship is adoration. It’s a time of reverence and devotion. It’s an ooey-gooey time of love for God. God is ushered into our presence and when it’s time for the Word (sermon, homily, message, lesson or preaching), then His Word will come forth without hindrances.

Lifting Holy Hands

When some people worship the Lord, they have different styles of raising their hands to worship. Allow me to explain some of those positions. If someone is robbing you, and they tell you to, “Stick up your hands;” you would raise them as high as they tell you with your palms turned outwards. You would, in other words, “Reach for the sky.” That would be a position of surrender. We are expected to give the thief what they demand from us. In church, we raise our hands high because we are not ashamed of God, and it is God who gives us the ability to raise our limbs anyway. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Rom. 1:16).

There is another way that people might raise their hands to God, and that is with palms facing up and arms stretched out (as if one was to carry a load). This is a gesture of an offering. We are giving all of our praise and worship as a sacrifice. It is an offering up to the Lord as sweet incense to Him and Him alone.

Some people may do a wave towards the heavens. Hands held high palms facing forward and waving from side to side. It’s like a waving homage to the King of Kings. It’s just like the people of Hawaii, who speak with their hands and body when they dance, a story is told.

One last expression of adoration is with arms raised, and palms facing each other. It’s like a child who offers their hand to grab their parents’ hand to cross a street…To read more - get the book: "Where Did That Come From?" by Ms. "V" (Victoria Thomas Poller)
