Reading passage:- 2nd Samuel 6:14.
- And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
Beloved do you have an idea why our Lord Jesus Christ insists that before you enter the kingdom of heaven you must become like children (Matthew 19:14)?
This is because children express their joy without self restrictions, they do not care about who is watching or not, they do not also care or take into consideration where they could be at a particular time, all they know or all that matters to them is that they are happy and they need to express it.
This is applicable to the case of king David who won a battle that seemed impossible and when he realised that God could don't for him to win the battle and being back the ark of covenant, he dropped his kingly title and appearance and decided to thank Gos in a way he felt he should not minding who was watching him or who was by him, all Jr knew was that he must thank God with a dance.
We sometimes let our personality hinder us from praising God the way we should, we think of how will be looked at and what will be said about us to the point that we don't Even praise God in the congregation of people.
God placed King David at heart because of his gratefulness but decided to punish his mockers. Beloved do you have an idea how much miracles we will be loosing because we have allowed our personality to stop us from Praising God?
Having considering what 1st Corinthians 4:7 says:-
- For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Let's rise up and let down ego and praise God, the one who has given us all things.
My humble prayer this morning is that nothing will make me compromise the Joy that God has given me.
I will keep thanking God in all things.
