Do You Dance?
Dance is the hidden language of the soul. ~ Martha Graham
Scripture:
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:3-4 (New International Version)
It’s no secret that I love music and always have. I’m very eclectic when it comes to my musical tastes. Along with my love of music comes a love of dancing. There are certain songs that get into your bones, touch your soul and just makes you wanna move.
Here in Detroit we love to ballroom versus Chicago which has steppers. I also love to see Salsa dancing and the traditional more formalized version of ballroom dancing. I even know how to square dance if you can believe that. To me, there is nothing beautiful than seeing two people come together in a rhythmic way and move so beautifully as one unit. The beauty of dance with the right partner is one of the most exhilarating things to experience.
Nowadays I don’t get out much to dance. However, I still have a great partner. He’s called the Holy Spirit. You see, He doesn’t get out to the clubs much; still He always manages to find me. Every now and again I hear a certain melody, He taps me on the shoulder and we begin to move together as one unit and I always let Him lead.
Whenever He leads, I know our dance will be flawless.
Be blessed
Prayer
Father God, we come entering into Your gates with songs of praises on our lips, dancing to songs of praise, as we uplift Your most Holy name. Lord, as we ask that You would continue to be with us on this journey called life. Even when some may be going through their own personal storms we still know that You are with us always. Father, we ask that Your grace and mercy would be plentiful in the lives our Your children. Sustain us Lord, for the coming day. Keep us, hidden under the wings of Your salvation. Father, we ask that You would hear the prayers and petitions of those who have come to worship You. Lord, bless those who may be going through. Touch those who may be lost in a far country. Deliver us Lord, from he who seeks to destroy us. Thank You Lord, for blessing us, in spite of our failing and shortcomings. Now Lord, we pause to give You thanks. Thank You for a new day. Thank You for fresh grace and mercy. Most of all, thank You for Your son, Jesus Christ, in his name we pray. Amen.
