"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…a time to dance…" Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4, NKJ
Every now and then – it's time to bust a move! That what we've been doing this week, Pastor Mark has preached to us, There is a time to dance. We're not talking about provocative dancing, hitting up the bar or suggestive fleshly moves – we're talking about a dance of joy! A dance to celebrate...to leap, skip or jump. Literally, the word "dance" in Ecclesiastes means: to stamp – to spring about wildly or for joy.
Some days, some moments – there's just something refreshing and rejuvenating about getting a groove going. Bust a move and sing a song to drive out discouragement, depression or the blues! Tap your toes and shuffle just enough to break out of apathy, passivity or exhaustion! Dance for joy to celebrate the goodness of God.
The Bible has a lot to say about dancing...and rejoicing, celebrating, singing, shouting and making a melody.
We can bust a move...sing, shout and make a melody, when…
The Lost Are Found: "'For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing…." (Luke 15:24-25, NIV)
We are Healed: "Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God." (Acts 3:7-8, NIV)
We Are Filled and Drunk In the Spirit: "Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts." (Ephesians 5:18-19, NLT)
Our Tears Are Turned to Joy: "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy…." (Psalm 30:11, NIV)
We Want to Praise God: "Then David danced before the LORD with all his might…." (2 Samuel 6:14, NKJV)
It's Time to Break Free: "Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD…." (Psalm 98:4-5, NIV
