====================

Are we too dignified in our worship?

When I was a kid I went to a lot of high school dances. It wasn’t because I was a dancer per se. Uh, uh. I was a break dancer, a b-boy and I’m thinking about getting back into it.

In fact, my boys are going to making a little documentary tracking my comeback called, “Breaking Dad.”

All this to say that if I’m faced with certain conditions I will automatically start breakdancing. After all the hours and hours and hours of practicing moves and routines there a certain things that force me to move like a Pavlovian dog when he hears a bell ring.

I want to be at point in my worship of God that when certain conditions are present, that is, God’s presence is present, I jump, I lift my hands, I dance, I get undignified but don’t even notice myself because my attention is so on God.

Think about when this normally happens outside of worship. Umm…how about Superbowl Sunday? Did anyone jump up and down when their favorite team scored a touchdown? Anyone raise their hands in victory.? Obviously, I’m speaking to you Seattle fans out there because there weren’t many opportunities for you Denver.

Too soon? Sorry. But you get what I mean, right?

Now dancing for some Christians is not something anyone should do and this video message will probably get stopped right now.

Still here? Good. Because if King David in the bible, the one God described as “a man after his own heart” was a dancer, than please let’s dance.

It’s not about if you have any dancing skills, like you have to be good enough for the show “So You Think You Can Dance” or you have to be Allan Lau my dancing friend or anything like that.

It’s not about the dancing moves; it’s about the worshipping heart.

David danced in worship, with all his might

“while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.” (2 Samuel 6:15 )

His wife was watching from the window. The bible says that

“when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.” (2 Samuel 6:16 )

David’s response to her clarifies HIS heart of worship. He said that he danced “before the Lord” in celebration and that he would in his worship

“…become even more undignified than this, and…be humiliated in his own eyes.”(2 Samuel 6:22 )

Can you imagine if you were there and saw the King dancing like that? Can you imagine if David came to your church and started doing that? Can you imagine if your pastor or minister started dancing around like that?

Hey, we should all be so filled with awe, excitement and enthusiasm that we forget our own selves and worship God’s almighty self without reservation, without thought of self-protection or preservation.

God is worthy of all, every part, 100% of our heart and our worship. Let’s get undignified.
