As we talked about last week, there is purpose behind everything that we do in worship.
God is restoring worship so that we (His children) can minister to Him first and foremost, but also so that we will have a weapon of warfare to use to destroy the enemy in our lives.
And, if we understand God’s purpose, then we can be part of the plan.
He has a plan for worship and as we begin to understand what the purpose of that plan is we will see victories in our lives like we’ve not seen before.
Because we now of a weapon that destroys the devil.
And we have an understanding that we can put our faith behind.
Lifting Our Hands
ps 134
The commentator in the Tehillim saysGod is stirred up against our enemies with shouts of praise.
As He is stirred up, or arises, His enemies are dashed into pieces, and their kingdoms are broken and destroyed.

This psalm finds the psalmist reaching out to God like a helpless person who stretches out his hands in desperation, gesturing to others to reach out and help him.
Notice that we are not asked to do these things, we are commanded to do this.

This is just an attitude of “Father, I worship You and I’m dependent completely upon You and Your ways.
Example: someone who doesn’t enjoy what they do will struggle to lift their hands and get started, but someone who loves what they do will be eager to lift their hands and start.
This was the attitude that David had toward God and His Word.
It was always easy for him to worship and stretch toward God.
Notice that we are not asked to do these things, we are commanded to do this.

We are commanded to clap and shout, but not because God is some ego maniac.
He commands us to do these things because He understands better than anyone what effect they are having in our lives.

Why We Shout

So, God is stirred up when we shout praise to Him.
The Hebrew word for “arise” also means to stir.

josh 15
The battle plan Joshua was to use was most unusual.
Ordinary weapons of war such as battering rams and scaling ladders were not to be employed.
Rather Joshua and his armed men were to march around the city once a day for six successive days with seven priests blowing trumpets preceding the ark of the covenant.
On the seventh day they were to circle Jericho seven times and then the wall of Jericho would collapse and the city would be taken.
What was the significance of the blaring trumpets?
These instruments were “jubilee trumpets” (lit.
Heb.) used in connection with Israel’s solemn feasts to proclaim the presence of God (Num.
10:10).
The conquest of Jericho was not therefore exclusively a military undertaking but also a religious one, and the trumpets declared that the Lord of heaven and earth was weaving His invisible way around this doomed city
6:10–11.
Preserving absolute silence (except for the seven priests blowing their trumpets) this strange parade made its way toward Jericho and then around the city like a serpent.
Jericho then covered about eight or nine acres and required less than 30 minutes to march around.
When the circuit was completed, to the amazement of the Canaanites who probably anticipated an immediate attack, the Israelites returned quietly to camp.
6:12–14.
The same procedure was followed for six days.
No fortress had ever been conquered in this fashion.
This strange strategy was probably given to test the faith of Joshua.
He did not question; he trusted and obeyed.
This procedure was also designed to test Israel’s obedience to God’s will.
And that was not easy in this case.
Every day they were exposing themselves to ridicule and danger.
A Jericho soldier may have looked down from the wall on the army of Israel and asked, “Do they think they can frighten us into surrender by the sound of their rams’ horns?”
And the rest may have joined in a loud chorus of raucous laughter.
