"I will become even more undignified than this" 2 Samuel 6:22.Strong words that David uttered when He was rebuked for looking "inappropriate" because of his heart felt celebration of the Lord. Dancing has always been criticized for it's seductive appearance. Davids wife even accused him of "disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!" vs. 20
I don't know what a linen ephod was but David, was wearing one as he "danced before the LORD with all his might" in verse 14.
Certainly there is a need to be modest in our appearance... but I'm glad God see's WHY we dance and WHO we dance for.
According to the wisest man Solomon in Ecclesiastes 3:4 the bible states that there is "a time to dance".
If the world can throw a party with booze flowing & put up pics on facebook where they are out at clubs dancing to lyrics that would make your grandma puke in her grave, dancing for pleasure and self indulgence... dancing to seduce or just for sheer entertainment, why can't people dance for such a GREATER reason.
If dancing can serve any kind of worth while purpose, I can't think of any better reason to dance then to celebrate God. He has set us free.
Would you believe me
would you listen if i told you... THAT
There is a love that makes a way,
it'll never hold you backSo wont you break
wont you break free
Get up and dance in His love
So wont you break

Get up and dance in His love
Who would have thought that God
would give his one and only son
Taking a stand upon the cross
to show His perfect love
So wont you break

Get up and dance in his love
So wont you break

Get up and dance in his love
His love never ending
There's no escaping the truth
There's no mistaking it's You
God forever we'll
Get up and dance,
Get up and dance
And praise You
Theres no escaping Your light
Theres no mistaking Your love
Across the world we will
Get up and dance
Get up and dance
and praise You
Now is the time to take this
freedom that has come our way
Offer our lives to see
the glory of His nameSo wont you break
wont you break free
Get up and dance in his love
So wont you break
wont you break free
Get up and dance in His love
His love never ending
Living all our days
We are holding on
holding on to all Your ways
We are holding on holding on
To all You say and You've done
We are holding on to Your love
Now we will...
...dance...
So won't you break free
Won't you break free
Get up and dance
Wont you break free
His love never ending
