"And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod." 2 Samuel 6:14
Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to dance? When your happiness in Him is overflowing and it's almost as though you can't contain it?
Now I know I am not the only one. The Bible says in Ecclesiates 3:4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." So I know that there is a time to dance. I can't think of a better time than when you are happy in the Lord.
That's what David did. You read through the Psalms and when David was happy or celebrating or even worshiping, dance was involved. Now, please understand I am not suggesting dancing during the next song service at church, I am simply stating that I have noticed in my reading lately the use of dance.
David danced before the Lord in song and celebration and praise to Him and it pleased the Lord. Maybe we can learn something from that. Maybe we can apply a bit of that to our own lives and break the mold a little and be a little bold the next time the Holy Spirit moves us.
Even if you are not the type to have any desire to dance (even if it is before the Lord and no one else), we can still be encouraged to be sure we are praising Him and not just for the great things He has done for us, but simply just for who He is!
So whether it be dance, or song and simple humility, let us take some time this week to praise God and do our best to please Him.
