Hands Up!

Praising from Prison_banner.jpg

“Be still and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.” —Psalm 46:10 NLT

we tend to create chaos because we crave control

Adam + Eve

“The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the WISDOM it would give her.” —Genesis 3:6 NLT

“The Lord says, ‘I will GUIDE you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”’ —Psalm 32:8 NLT

The word “GUIDE” in Psalm 32:8 is same Hebrew word translated “WISDOM” in Genesis 3:6. –––– God says “I will guide…I will provide wisdom on what’s best for your life.” –––– But Eve wanted to decide that for herself. —-

Instead of craving control and creating chaos…we are directed to:

“Be still and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.” —Psalm 46:10 NLT

Be still - RELEASE

Know - REALIZE

God is God - RAISE OUR HANDS IN WORSHIP

we can’t be hands on with our hands up


Stop taking control from God and start seeking the clarity of God

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
Do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” —Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.
He will not rebuke you for asking.” —James 1:5 NLT
