  •  May my life be like a Dancer...

     

    It seems as if each day passes by like a hurricane. Life swirls around me in a constant fury, yet I remain still. Should I join the ferocity—chase the air down? Or should I dance in the wind and let the cool breeze seize my soul and manage my life?

    I feel the choice is obvious. I desire to dance in the wind—to soar on the heights!

    I want to lace my soft, pink shoes and twirl in the integrity of the Magnificent Maker of All—to twirl ribbons in the gust of his goodness! The streams ripple with the wonder of his awesome name. The mountains shake in awe of his mighty hands. He gives power to the weak and sight to the blind. I cannot help but raise my hands in gratitude for all He is and all He has done. He has assured me that my feet are planted on solid ground in the foundation of His name! He is the Rock…He sustains me! I dance in assurance of perfection and praise. May my dance be one of honor and adoration!

    God has cascaded unending grace on his children—how beautiful—to display our lives as an elegant dance for the King of kings!

     

    2 Samuel 6:14:
    And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment.

     

    Jeremiah 31:13:
     The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.

     

    Psalm 22:23:
    Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!

     

    1 Corinthians 9:26&27:
    So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

  • YOU UPDATED!!!!!!!!   let  HIS cool breeze seize my soul and manage my life?

  • I always enjoy your posts. I am encouraged to know there is another person who is satisfied, or rather extremely happy, to be simply and all that God has made you to be. My joy is not predicated on my receiving any glory, rather giving glory to God increases my joy, because it is the joy of a creature, not the Creator. Thanks for the insight.

    P.S.  It's "devastate." I can't help it, it being a Latinate word, because I am a Latin enthusiast.
