Word of the Day
Beloved, it is time to dance—time to dance in step with Me and go where I go without fear. In this place with Me it doesn’t matter what others think or say about how you dance…for to be hidden in My heart brings freedom.
It is time to use your imagination for the moment of experience is upon you this very hour…this very moment. I am drawing you from your chair…from your place of conformability or conformity and taking you into a place where you have confidence in the one demonstrating such beautiful and intricate steps…a place where your heart has wings to fly.
Have faith! I will lead. All you have to do is follow. Look to My hand as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress…let your eyes look to Me and you will not miss My outstretched hand (Psalm 123:2)
Stretch yourself and imagine watching while a dance instructor demonstrates intricate and beautiful steps set to music selected just for you and you alone. Butterflies flutter in your stomach as you watch the demonstration and longing in your heart crescendos with the rise and fall of each note as it woos and pierces your heart. You want to believe you can. You see yourself dancing and wonder what He will say.
Has he ever been unkind or harsh? No. This gives you courage. I give you courage. I give you courage and strength to rise up on feet with wings and a heart that soars above all negative things experienced in your life (Isaiah 40:31).
It is from the lofty place within the covering of My wings where one can have a true perspective…where one can have My perspective…about one’s own self and about others. Take baby steps and soon you will not flutter like a butterfly but you will instead fly with Me on the wings of My Spirit…you will be covered by the overshadowing of My wings…to fly and be covered all at the same time (Psalms 91:4).
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy and loving-kindness for us. (Psalm 123:2 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I so desire for my heart and my soul to receive such a gift from You…such a sound from Heaven. I long for Your love to swell in my heart like an open gate and pour out of my being with rivers of living water. I know I have had questions that seem to have no real practical answers sometimes. I know all things cannot be grasped with the mind but must be absorbed by the spirit within me. Some of Your Word today seems too grand and I can’t wrap my mind around the simplicity of relationship with You. Teach me to glory in the simple ways…in the simple things.
Always remind me of Your truth and how You see me when I am found to be comparing myself with another. Sometimes instead of rejoicing at the uniqueness of another person’s dance I have been known to feel less than and wonder if I will ever be like them. How silly! You never want me to be like them. If I was I would be them, and that just wouldn’t do.
Reflect and Journal
- A move of overt grace, passion and beauty is emerging on the scene of Your life and heart…in your dance with Him. Reflect on His arrival in such a victorious way. What do you think, feel or sense He wishes you to dance to first?
- Reflect on how perfect love casts out fear.
- Have you so admired the dance…the life of another that you find yourself in a place of comparison which causes you to see yourself as less than adequate?
