As we are heading off toCharlotte, NC Dance Camp today I wanted to post something about worship dance. Here are a few of the verses in the Word that show dance as a means to worship the Lord:
The Dance of Victory and Celebration
Exodus 15:20-21 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbals and with dances.
And Miriam answered them: "Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and the rider He has thrown into the sea!"
The Dance of Worship
2 Sam. 6:16-23 As Kind David brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem, he worshiped and danced with abandon before the Lord.
Ps. 149:3 Let them praise His name with the dance...
The Dance of Joy
Ps. 30:11 You have turned my mourning in to dancing
The Dance of War
Heb. 2:8-9 The Lord has put all things under His feet
Rom. 16:20 The Lord will cause satan to be crushed under our feet
Col. 2:15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. The Greek word for "triumph" here is thriambeunuo, which means, "to make a loud procession." This is a march of victory following the battle. The Lord invites us to join HIm in this victory dance over all evil.
The Prophetic Dance
1 Sam. 18:6-7 This is a prophetic song and dance by the women of Israel - David had just defeated one man (Goliath), but these women were singing, dancing and rejoicing over victories that would come in the life of this great King.
Once we release dance in our churches, there will be a breaking of bondages in so many other areas of church life. Freedom comes as we use our feet and hands to worship the Lord.
...and here is the prettiest little dancer of them all:
