Do a little Dance!

Psalm 30: 11

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy….

I remember a time when I was young, when I could see my Mom’s mood change. It almost changed in an instant.

When I would ask her what was wrong, she’d always say in return…. “Today I’ve got just a good case of the blues.”

This Psalm was written by King David, to be read when the Temple of God, would one day be dedicated by David’s son, Solomon.

Talk about someone who lived life with a good case of the blues—it was David.

Do you feel down and out today? Would you say that you’ve got a good case of the blues?

I love it when King David said…. “You turned my wailing into dancing…”

I’ve always wondered what wailing was, and then a friend told me.

“Wailing is when a casket is closed of a child, and the parents of this child, begin to cry from the very pit of their soul.”

If someone had reason to cry from the pit of their soul, it was David.

Aren’t you glad, that we have a God Who can take the worst situation and scenario, and turn it back into joy?

Maybe you need to ask God to remove your sackcloth?

Maybe you need to ask God, to clothe you with joy?

Why not stop and do that right now.

Your day might be brighter than you think J

I’ll bet if you surrender your burdens to Him right this minute, you might even feel like doing a little dance
