Psalm 141:2 NASB "May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The raising of my hands as the evening offering."Have you heard the statement "Work smarter not harder"?!, well in doing so, I installed a hoist in my garage to help me lift up some of the heavier items that were a struggle to store in the top of my garage. Admitting that I needed a little help getting them up there was difficult to admit but in working smarter not harder, the hoist would do all the heavy lifting! Today's verse speaks about lifting our prayers and hands in offering to our Lord. I couldn't help but think that sometimes we all need a little help. Many of us don't see our prayers as incense to the Lord or that the raising of our hands as an evening offering but they can be if we do them with the right mindset. Letting go of the "macho man" attitude to admit we need help, can lift our spirits to where the heavy burden is shared by others who are there to help. Let's lift each other up and help carry the heavy burdens of life! peace, tom
