I Dance for HIM

           John 4:23 NLT
But the time is coming--indeed it's here now--when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

I  recently had a vision that showed me as a dancer for the Lord. I had on a beautiful ballerina type ensemble and I worshiped and praised Him with my all. There was such a heavenly sound playing as I gracefully displayed my reverence for our Father. I did not sweat nor did I faint nor did I stop. Let them praise his name with dancing. . . Psalm 149:3 I danced on and on, all the while the Lord was watching, smiling, and well pleased with my praise towards Him. This scene puts me in mind of a jewelry box where the ballerina dances to a lovely song after the crank is wound around and around- only my dancing was eternal to our eternal God.

Every now and again someone would try to deter me; to knock me over; to get me out of worship mode. God would quickly turn to them, with a frowned face and flick them away. Can you imagine the pain associated with a flick from God? ? ? Could we even survive such a thing? ? ? He saves us from our enemies and all who hate us. Luke 1:71   You are the One who gives us victory over our enemies; You disgrace those who hate us. Psalm 44:7 He then turns back to me, smiling once again and assuring that I did not get off track. He will not let you stumble, the One who watches over you will not slumber. Psalm 121:3

God is using this vision to show us how important it is to remain focused on Him and not those trying to harm us. He will take care of anyone trying to stop us from doing His will; to worship Him in Spirit and Truth as John 4:23 reads. Vengeance is His, not ours. Romans 12:19 He is no respecter of persons. Acts 10:34  so if we lose focus we are distancing ourselves from Him. WE DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. He inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm 22:3 It is important that we love and pray for those who wish us harm. Matthew 5:44 It is not them but that working through them that is the problem.

So keep focus on the Lord. Continue to Praise Him! Reverence Him! Thank Him! Glorify Him! He WILL take care of the rest. Be sure to act as David did and not as Michal! 2 Samuel 6:13-23
