The Biblical Remix – On The Floor

2 Samuel 6:11-22 – http://bit.ly/biblicalremixonfloor

Although everywhere in spirit, God literally put His very presence up in this golden box called “The Ark of the Covenant”.  God showed His peeps He wanted to be up in the midst of them, even if they didn’t know how to act sometimes.

For like 20 years though this Ark was in the northwest part of town about 9 miles away.  The new king, David, was so amped he built a new house so he could have the Ark in the center of town.

After some time David, his army and thousands of peeps went with him to the northwest side of town.  From there, they walked, sang, danced, and made animal sacrifices for the 9 mile stretch in order to bring back the Ark to Zion, aka the City of David (Side note: That is so “G” when a city is named after you).

Of course King David was up in the front dancing his butt off. He had no shame in getting his groove on for God.

As King David was showing off his breakdancing skills, this J.Lo song played:

“If you go hard you gotta get on the floor, If you’re a party freak then step on the floor, If you’re an animal then tear up the floor…”

Reflection:

King David knew how to worship God.  Without fear he sang/danced/honored God for the great things God had done in his life.  And he did that also in public.

Am I that vulnerable?  Am I that free?  Sometimes.

Certain songs take me to a place where I can find that freedom in singing and honoring God. Actually is a great joy when I’m in that place.

Only recently have I learned I could also worship God not just through song and dance, but by being/doing the very thing God designed me for.  With drama/photography/videography/counseling/consulting I can flow in worship.  Yeah.  As Pastor Eli says a bird can’t tell you how it flys.  It just flys.  Because that is what is was born to do.

So what were you born to do? Whatever that is, do that.  Worship God in doing that/those things.

Like King David make sure you go hard and leave it on the floor.
