Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto GOD in the Heavens.
[Lamentations 3:41]

Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy Name.
[Psalm 63:4]

My hands also will I lift up unto Your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in Your statutes.
[Psalm 119:48]

Throw Your Hands Up!!!

Good Afternoon Beloved!

Happy Friday! Can we say “WINDY!” WOW… guess we’re getting a taste of “Chi-Town” (Chicago). Still, what a wonderful day! Oh the power in uplifted hands. The Bible has a lot to say about that. I believe it is because raised hands is a sign of surrender. What does the police officer tell the suspect to do… put his hands up. It is a place of vulnerability. That officer knows that the person will be less of a threat with their hands in the air. They can see what the person has in their hands… hmm.. pause… ever think maybe that’s what God wants as well… to see what we have in our hands. What are we holding onto that we need to release. It is not always something bad. What treasures has He placed in our hands, that we are holding onto. My dear friend reminded me of that just this week. I have been suffering with terrible writer’s block. There are several books locked up in me. One of them has me stuck on the first page, another the first chapter. Janelle, has been encouraging me for a long time to put the “Soul Foods’ in book form. Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. “DUH!”… it just became clear to me… “what do you have in your hands Regina?… well, use that!” When I begin to surrender to that, I felt a tremendous relief. Sometimes, we have no idea what the problem is. The situation seems so complex and confusing, but the wisdom of God is an awesome thing. It’s not like I haven’t had that “thought” before. It is not like no one had every complimented me before by telling me to “go for it!” and publish these daily offerings. There was something special about that day…I just figure my “spiritual ears” needed a little tweaking, so that my receiver (my spirit) could catch up to it. I’m so glad that God doesn’t give up trying to get through to us. Even when we seem a little “hard of hearing”. There is nothing God can’t do with a surrendered heart and uplifted hands…
