A
reminder for today
"And
now, O LORD God, I am your servant; do as you have promised concerning me and
my family. Confirm it as a promise that will last forever. And may your
name be honored forever so that everyone will say, 'The LORD of Heaven's Armies
is God over Israel!' And may the house of your servant David continue before
you forever.” (2 Samuel 7:25-26)
So David is finally king over Israel. David stands here
before God and declares himself as God’s servant knowing that God has a purpose
for his life and that he seeks to fulfil that purpose by following God humbly
as a servant.
My dear friend, there is much that we can learn from
David and his amazing love for God. He never cared for how he looked when he
celebrated his love for God. When David brought in the Ark of the Covenant into
Jerusalem he danced all the way in front of it. His wife Michal thought that he
looked foolish and not like a king.
David
retorted to Michal, "I was dancing before the LORD, who chose me above
your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the
people of the LORD, so I celebrate before the LORD. Yes, and I am willing
to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But
those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!"
(2 Samuel 6:21-22)
When we serve God we might look foolish to other, but to
God we will bring great glory. It is not about how we look. It is about what is
in our hearts. Remember God looks at the heart not the outside. Following God
passionately will make people look funny at you in today’s world, but that is
so important, because I would rather be foolish and humiliated for God, than
doing what worldly people expect of me.
Come with me today my dear and wonderful friend and let
us celebrate our love for God. Let us sing and dance like David, and may we
look foolish like he did for in our song we will bring glory to a wonderful and
amazing God.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
