When the Holy Spirit abides in us, He desires to develop
His fruit in our life (Galatians
5:22-23). He cannot force us to live a fruitful life; therefore, He
wants us to allow Him to flow in and through us. Our surrender enters us into a
dance of joy with the Lord of the dance, and we sing songs to our Lord day and
night (Psalm 149:3;
Ephesians 5:19).
We sway with Him to the music He places in our heart,
getting lost in the melody of His love and dedicating our life to His service. We
praise Him with the tambourines and the dance (Psalm 150:4). Twirling in harmony with His
melody (Psalm 149:3),
we dance in joy because of His peace and provision (Jeremiah 31:4). There is always a time to
dance (Ecclesiastes
3:4).
Those who seek the Lord lack nothing that we need to
prosper in this life (Psalm
34:10). The Lord is our light and protection, and He gives us His
kindness and respect. He withholds no good thing from those who walk in
Holiness before Him (Psalm
84:11). As we submit to God and allow His peace to rule in our heart, He
will make our way prosperous (Job 22:21).
God never allows His righteous ones to go hungry (Proverbs 10:3). When
life devastates us, our heart loses its hope, but Jesus turns our mourning into
dancing (Lamentations
5:15; Psalm 31:11). Then, we can once again praise Him with musical
instruments and dance before Him in joy (Psalm 150:4, 149:3; 2 Samuel 6:14). God
delights in the praises and love of His Saints (Zephaniah 3:17).
Prayer:
Father God, there is no need for us to live in fear and
anxiety about what we need, because You know everything about us, and You
graciously and generously supply all of our needs (Philippians 4:19; Matthew 6:31-32). You
provide for us and protect us all of the days of our life (Psalm 84:11). You
give us all good things to enjoy (Matthew 7:11). Teach us to dance with You, especially when life
gets too hard to handle.
Thought for the Day:
Our Father in Heaven gives us whatever we ask, if we keep
His commandments and do what pleases Him. - 1 John 3:22
