Sometimes people kneel to pray or stand to worship or even lie face down in humility before God.

Does posture matter when we praise?

According to Nancy Lee DeMoss, yes and no.

The physical posture doesn't make you a worshiper.

It's the hard attitude. Heart attitude of

humility and reverence and awe that then is symbolized or visualized by our physical position

or posture. It's Monday, November 27th, and this is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee-Demoss.

Last week, we learned about the purpose and results of praise.

This week, we're going to get practical.

How do we praise?

Let's join Nancy and find out.

You know, sometimes physical posture can say a lot about what's going on inside.

I think, for example, of a wedding I attended last weekend,

and all the bridesmaids and the groomsmen came down the aisle and took their places,

and then the wedding march started to play. And you know what people did? Well, you know what they

did. What did they do? They stood up. Why did they stand up as that bride? You know, it really didn't help you see the bride. In fact, it kept me from seeing the bride. But what were they signifying when they stood up? Respect, honor, reverence. I love it when, as a woman, I walk into a room and sometimes the men will stand and that without even

saying anything that just what does that make you feel as a woman and that communicates honor

and significance and by the way as women we need to earn that not demand it or you think of the

president or prime minister or king walking in a room and what are the dignitaries

around him do? They stand. You know, our physical posture in worship communicates. It matters. It's

important. And believe it or not, the scripture has some things to teach us about our physical position and posture

in worship. We want to start talking today about the practice, some of the how-toes of praise.
