I dance in my underwear




When was the last time you were in church praise & worship?
Maybe it was only a few days ago; possibly weeks ago, or years ago for some.

How did it look?
Was everyone standing around singing monotone hymns from a book?
Were there people with their eyes closed with their hands raised?
Was there dancing?

2 Samuel 6:14 says
David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might,

Basically David was so overjoyed in the Lord that he ran out in the street and danced in his underwear.
Imagine if you will someone so happy that they run outside in their boxers and started running in place & jumping up and down.

When was the last time you saw someone during praise & worship session just become so overwhelmed with the presence of God that they disregarded openly praised God?

Not saying that the people in the church service should strip off their clothes and dance in their underwear… although that might give people a different view of Christianity wouldn’t it?

2 Samuel 6:22a
“I will become even more undignified than this, I will be humiliated in my own eyes.”


What if we praised like that though, with that spirit?
Praising God without worrying about what other people though?

2 Samuel 6:22b
“But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

How would people view Christianity if they walked into a praise & worship session and people were praising God uninhibited by those around them.
How would they feel if they saw people praising God in the street in this manner?

Maybe the way you praise uninhibited is dancing, in the middle of the church of "the frozen chosen"
Maybe the way you praise uninhibited is standing there quietly with your hands raised, while those around you speak in tongues.
Maybe the way you praise uninhibited is face down on the floor in your room.
Do not be swayed by those around you.
Praise as God's Spirit leads.
