As the Ark of the Covenant was being brought back to Jerusalem from the house of Obed-Edom, David danced with all his might before the Lord. He was so excited for this event. He wanted the Ark close-by so he could worship God daily before it. At the thought of it being in Zion, his senses were overwhelmed to the point that he was constrained to demonstrate with exorbitant physical gesture. Weeping, dancing, singing, lifting up of hands, prostration, clapping … all were physical gestures David referred to when describing his worship expression to the Lord.

PRAYER: Lord, Who in all the earth is greater than You. How can we but relinquish to You the most lavish expressions of praise and exaltation. You are deserving of our all.
