Day 82

Jan 21: 2 Samuel 4-7
King David married Saul's daughter Michal earlier in 1 Samuel. In chapter 6, Michal sees David leaping and dancing before the Lord as they were bringing the ark back to Jerusalem. Seeing this, Michal becomes extremely upset as he did this in front of all of Israel. When David returns home, she tells him how she feels and David replies "I will celebrate before the LORD. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes."
What David does is completely lose himself before God. He doesn't care what he looks like by anyone else, all he cares about is worshiping God with all he has. Our pride makes this something difficult to do, but unless we reach this level, I don't think we give God everything we have. When we're alone, it's easy to do whatever and praise God because no one is watching, but when you're at church or wherever else, it's easy to hold back and not really let loose. Let's ask God to help us be undignified before Him, to show Him that worship isn't about us or what we look like, but that it's about Him and how we can praise Him.
