Good morning champion. Arise and shine it’s another God-given day.
Let’s continue to think of our due response of worship this morning
2 Samuel 6:16 (NKJV)
Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
· David was a great king, leader and warrior and He was also a passionate worshipper. The first great thing he was in life was a great worshipper. As a young man he spent years sitting as a shepherd on a hillside and in that time he developed a passion inside Him for worshipping God. He was wise and even when he was King he lived a life of worship because he knew where God had brought Him from, and what He had done for Him and was doing through Him.
· We too always need to remember where God has brought us from and what he has done for us and promised for us. When we do, that should be more than enough to ignite our worship to Him.
· Some people, namely His wife Michal, did not appreciate His passion for worship. Did that stop Him? No way! He knew his worship was not for her or about her, but it was about His God. I am so grateful that when he was confronted about his “offensive” worship lifestyle he did not back down, far from it, he got worse.
2 Samuel 6:21 - 22 (NKJV)
So David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight.
· Like David, the worshipping warrior, make sure you are not allowing people to cause you to tone down your worship but be living to be even more undignified!
· Like David, make sure your worship ever flows from the knowledge and remembrance of who He is and all that He has done for you.
· Like David, above every other title that man can give to you, set your heart on being known as a passionate worshipper. If you get that right then every other position and title will follow, by God’s doing and appointment.
· Like David, worship God for being the one who see’s in you what others can’t see. David must have ever been amazed that when others only ever saw a shepherd boy God saw a King.
Give God your worship again today and don’t let anyone hold you back.
