Grace for your spirit November 14, 2011

Grace for your spirit
And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sound of the trumpet. II Samuel 6:14-15

In professional football there is a 15 yard penalty for excessive celebration. Players get excited over a great play, and the officials don't like it. Here,King David was finally bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. He was excited, and his praise led to dancing and shouting before the Lord. His wife watched him from afar and didn't like it at all. She threw a penalty flag for excessive and unruly celebration. It ultimately ruined his day and ruined her life. Sometimes we are hold back in our excitement in the work of the Lord because we think someone is going to throw a penalty flag at us. Let's remember that the Lord knows our heart, and He knows when we are truly celebrating before Him. Our heavenly official won't throw a penalty flag.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 45:23
