"I Will Celebrate" 

The day that Uzzah was killed, David felt defeated and said ‘forget it, leave the ark. He was frustrated and hurt that God would allow this to happen. He was only trying to do something for The LORD. His intentions were good but he handled it wrong. He didn’t follow through with what The Lord had put in place, and it turned out horribly. After three months of seeking The LORD and hearing of the blessings of the household where the ark resided, David tried again. But this time, he went with an obedient heart. He honored The LORD every step of the way and David rejoiced. He danced with all of his might while the people shouted and trumpets blared.  While entering the city of Jerusalem, Michal, David’s wife and daughter of Saul heard the racket and looked out the window. She was appalled. How could he? There was David dancing before the LORD and she hated him for it. The ark was placed into the tent, the sacrifices were made, respects were given, honor was shown, and David blessed the people in the name of The Lord and gave them gifts of food. It was a grand celebration. David was on cloud nine. It was time to go home and he was still overjoyed and ready to bless his own household.

But Michal was waiting for him…” How could you? Some king you are, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls like any other vulgar man would do.” Can you just hear David’s balloon deflating? Then he let her have it. “It was before The LORD, that I was chosen as king. He chose me over your dad and I am living that life right now. I WILL celebrate before The Lord. I will become even more undignified than that and nothing and no one will stop me. But those slave girls, as you call them, will look at me with honor, more than what you are doing right now. So, stay in your lane, woman. This was between me and my Lord” (paraphrased of course) 2 Samuel 6

Child of God, it’s about the heart. Worship Him, honestly and sincerely, and worship The Lord, in your prayer closet and in the church and in the public eye. Don’t worry about what others say or think. It’s all about Jesus, anyway. So, Get your dance on and be overjoyed.

 But, maybe wear some clothes while you're at it.😊

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
