I love watching children dance, such a sense of abandon, not caring what anyone else thinks, just being who they are. I have watched several seasons of "So You Think You Can Dance" and no matter how many times I watch I am still struck that when it comes time for each person to do solos, it does not matter how many other I have seen before each one is still unique. Each person has a unique take on each type of dance, some even have a signature move. It is this type of unique movement I want to talk about today.

Each of us have a unique personality and how amazing is it when we can express this special individuality when it comes to God. David in the Bible used dance to express his love for God. I believe that many Christians have allowed dance to slip away from their worship expression, however I would like to challenge that paradigm a bit. God loves watching us surrender everything to him and dance in worship is just like surrendering your body in worship to God. We are sometimes so focused on what the people next to us are doing in a worship service that we lose sight that it is about worshipping God and not about the people next to us.

We need to stop wondering what others would think and allow ourselves the freedom to worship God in whatever way we are moved to. Worship is a unique expression of love and devotion we have for God. I believe God wants us to dance like no one is watching but Him.

I believe that God loves it when we dance just like we like to watch the children in our lives dance. It brings joy to his heart and it usually brings joy to the dancer too. My challenge to you is see if you can be free enough to express your love for God in the form of dance sometime this week. You may even find that you enjoy it and want to continue.
