Please read devotional #34. This is a call for the people of God to be a people with raised holy hands to God in prayer. While most of us are capable of raising our hands above our heads, raising holy hands seems to be the issue. Raising holy hands will require something more than man is capable of doing without God's help.

Major League Baseball has recently added something to it's past records. It is an asterisk. It is used to designate additional information. Now it is used to designate a player who used performance enhancing drugs while setting a record. That record would be viewed as tainted, stained or impure.
God desires and makes a way for holy hands to be lifted. The contrast used is; hands raised in dispute, anger, or fists uplifted holding on to some grudge or a pointing finger toward someones wrong or violation.

The contrast is holy hands lifted by a heart at peace with God and mankind. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door. Our hands can be holy as our hearts are right with God and man.

Holy hearts make holy extremities. Feet that will carry us to a place of service and hands that will find expression in doing acts of love, for it is prayer that transforms the heart.
