“As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.”
“And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself.” And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord. I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.”
- We are often hesitant to lift our hands in praise to God, or hesitant to bow before Him in public settings. Even within the confines of our places of worship, we are often affected with the thoughts of what others may think if we lift our hands in praise. However, if you attend a sporting event, and the school song is played, thousands of people will lift their hands to show loyalty to their school or team.
Who will you unashamedly worship?
