I HOPE YOU DANCE

Read Psalm 51: 1-8

On yesterday, I was talking to my brother and we were talking about this song "I Hope You Dance." We talked about how Tyler Perry developed an entire movie around the song. Well tonight, I tuned into an on line bible study and what does the pastor preach on dancing. She walks us through Psalm 51 and tells us how sometimes we stop dancing because we can't hear the music anymore. Well David who loved to dance who danced out of his clothes asked God in verse 8 to let him hear again. This makes me think that we look at our situations and we stop dancing not because the music stopped playing but in our brokenness we stopped hearing. Lord, I pray that everyone reading this word, knows this that God is still on the dance floor called life. You may have walked off or changed partners, but go back the partner you left the one that matters is still on the floor. Dancing is a form of worship and I am so glad I love to dance. Dancing has gotten me in trouble, but now I dance for God, so it doesn't matter if I am still on the floor when the sun comes up. Glory.

You may say what can be biblical about I HOPE YOU DANCE, well in the word God says I will turn your mourning into dancing. He intended for us to dance. So what you lost the job, dance, so what they walked out of your life dance, so what they talked about you dance. You drive a hoopty and not Mercedes dance, you live in a shack and not a mansion dance. This door closed another one will open so dance.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

That's right it may look bleak right now, but if you hold on to the faith, then you my friend should be dancing. I surely hope you dance.

Blessed to Be A Blessings,
