Every Step In Life
Leads Us to Sing and Dance
For God Is With Us
Always.
1 Chronicles 13:8
David and all Israel were dancing before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.
Philippians 4:4-5
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.
Words of Grace For Today
When one surveys through memory how God has exercised great grace and steadfast love for our ancestors and for us in this time and place, there is only one response that we can engage in:
We sing and dance before God with all our might.
And we work each day to let our gentleness be the mode of our lives, gentleness that is born of enduring great suffering, and still receiving great grace and deliverance by God’s hand, for God is always near.
So we sing with all our hearts, minds, and strength, singing the old, old story of Jesus and his love.
This is the dance that celebrates everything that is good in creation: God’s grace and love for us all. There is nothing better possible than this in all our lives.
