Dance for Salvation

Dance…Dance…..Dance.
Dancing for God is like dancing
for Fame, but instead we dance for the
glory of his name. We dance for approval
of other people, as if we need to be accepted
by them, when my God accepts me for my
work whether I can reject or jerk. Praising him
by dancing sounds silly you say, when it clearly
says in the Bible to dance in your own
special way. Doing this for God brings happiness and
joy, stuff that’ll make me feeling alive instead
of feeling deprived of all I had to do and
strive to get this far. The spins, the turns,
the sweat, the burns, is all just ways
to get to the top, but without God, I’m
just a janitor with a mop. So praise
him, praise him with what you got, praise
him with your 1, 2, 3 that fill you up with
glee and your 5, 6, 7, 8 even though you
may be kinda late. God doesn’t accept
of what kind of dance we do or how we
do it, only that it is true and legit.
My God is a great dancer as well.
He’s mastered styles before, now, and then.
He’s been foot stomping, legs jerkin, body rocking,
arms waving, hand tutting and head spinning
before we even thought of it. Now looking
at all of this tells me that when we
dance we give God the glory to continue
this story of how we traded Fame for the
glory of God’s name and to dance for salvation.
