Life on earth is clothed in beauty, twirls of happiness, wonders of the universe, spins of serious illnesses, temptations, grief, heartbreak, and many things we just don’t understand. It is a given that we all will stumble along from time to time.
There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.. Ecclesiastes 3:4
When you stumble, what do you do? Do you help, pray, and stand in the gap when you see others stumble? Do you make both a part of your dance in life?
I will build you up again… Again, you will take up your timbrels and go out to dance with the joyful. Jeremiah 31:4
Biblically, dance is a form of praise and worship. When we stumble, life gets too hard, grief is raw, and we are too weary to even help ourselves, what does God do? Jesus turns our missteps into a beautiful dance if we choose to praise Holy in the storms of our lives.
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. Psalm 30:11, 12
Find your joy. Dance with wild abandon for the grace and mercy God shows you every day, especially in the stumbles.
