Dance in praise.


“Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.”
Psalm 149:3

When we dance to the Lord, we are expressing our praise to Him. I never really knew that dancing was so important to God until I studied the life of David. David was someone God choose because of His praise.

In 2 Samuel 6:14(MSG) the Bible says, “David, ceremonially dressed in priest's linen, danced with great abandon before GOD.” See what the Bible says in 2 Samuel 6:16, 20-21(MSG), “But as the Chest of GOD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, happened to be looking out a window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before GOD, her heart filled with scorn.  David returned home to bless his family. Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to greet him: "How wonderfully the king has distinguished himself today--exposing himself to the eyes of the servants' maids like some burlesque street dancer!" David replied to Michal, "In GOD's presence I'll dance all I want! He chose me over your father and the rest of our family and made me prince over GOD's people, over Israel. Oh yes, I'll dance to GOD's glory--”

The next time you have an opportunity to dance in the presence of the Lord, do it with great abandon because you are expressing your praise to God.
