Good to Bow

In some ways it may seem unnecessary to bow physically when the Lord always towers around and over us, even when we are standing.  How can it make a difference whether we stand or bow low?  Yet, tonight, I was reminded that it is an honor to bow.  For when we bow, we must first stop.  We are not looking around and we are reminded in our posture that we are under His almighty presence.  There is something in bowing that is conducive to prayer and that helps align us with the Lord rightly.  No, it is not necessary to bow but it is a privilege and it is beneficial in our walk with Him.

 

Psalm 95:6-7 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
                 Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
                 For He is our God,
                 And we are the people of His pasture,
                 And the sheep of His hand.
