Singing was such a huge and sweet part of the biblical believer’s lives. David (the man after God’s own heart) broke out in song and dance, praising God. In 2 Samuel 6, David faces criticism for getting a little wild in his dancing and warns his wife – I will get even wilder than this. A man after God’s heart doesn’t contain his thankfulness in a respectful way – do we? I dare you, just dare you – no matter where you are today, get a little undignified in your praise to the Father. It doesn’t have to be in front of a crowd, it can be locked behind doors in your bedroom – but make sure the Lord knows how grateful you are.
Sing a little song, dance a little dance.
When the word of Christ dwells in you richly, it will come out one way or another.
{Today’s Scripture: Colossians 3:15-17}
As I read the comments written I am shown that so many times the struggles are our gifts from God. It is in those struggles that we lean on him most and stick by his side holding on with all we have, that brings us the deepest blessings of all. The presents of our living Father bring us through these struggles. This is priceless. Oh, the material things are nice but the thrill never lasts and very rarely changes us for God.
Lord help me to remember this the most. Bless us Father in all our struggles and bring us to a greater understanding of what it is all about.
Just finished having my praise and worship time with the Lord. This devotion which talks about how David praised God through song and dance just confirms that God is the only one who merits praise and worship. Lets keep on praising him!
JUST undignified some thank you's to Jesus on my blog. http://www.make-something-beautiful.com
'Undignified (I will dance, I will sing)' sung by David Crowder Band seemed perfect for this! Today our church had a day of prayer and fasting for a specific need we have. It was lovely to gather together several times during the day and pray with thanksgiving and trust,and to recall the many blessings we have experienced.
I find myself thinking of spiritual songs and singing them outloud and in my head. I literally wake up in the morning and in the middle of the night with song on my brain. The Lord is working in me I can feel it, however, I am still under construction!
We are all a work in progress, great post!
Oh laura, my favorite song.
I will praise him with my whole heart!

Love that song!
I love to sing and I love to praise GOD. I love to praise GoD by singing. Others may not want to hear but the LoRD knows my heart and that is all that matters for HE lives me and cares for me
