Dance with Joy!

(1-30-2013)

"Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor and sung for joy on their beds." ~Psalm 149:3-5

Every Wednesday Maddie has dance class for a half hour. There are 6 little three and four year olds in her class and is the most adorable and hilarious thing to watch. The girls are all so excited to be dancing that they don't notice or care how they look. They are just dancing with joy and enjoying themselves.

This reminds me of how we should be when we worship Him, both privately and publicly. We shouldn't be concerned about how well we sing or dance, but rather we should put our energy into joyfully praise who God is. So, the next time you are in your car and that song comes on that speaks to your heart, don't be afraid, belt it out! Or, the next time you are at church and you see others singing, dancing, or raising their hands in praise of Him, join in and do so joyfully! We should all remember that it's all about Him and not about us.
