Today’s Scripture: And David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. 2 Samuel 6:5 ESV
We have many blessings to celebrate before the LORD.
What do you have that causes you to dance in the streets? Even in the face of discouragement I will choose to celebrate.
As David said to Michal, I will say to my discouragers; the LORD has chosen me and I will celebrate before the LORD. Yes, God chose us and we should celebrate before Him.
In the following few verses we see affirmations we can celebrate:
7:9- The LORD is with me wherever I go.
7:11- The LORD will make me a dwelling place.
7:15- The LORD’S steadfast love will always be with me.
7:20- The LORD knows me.
8:6- The LORD gives me victory wherever I go.
These are just a few; what do you have to celebrate before the LORD today?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God thank You for being my God. I celebrate You and sing Your praises. I celebrate that You are with me and trust You for my dwelling place. I am thankful that your steadfast love will always be with me and that you know me. Thank You for Your victory wherever I go. Amen
