Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
David wurde wegen seiner Ausgelassenheit verspottet, weil er sich tanzend freute, dass die Bundeslade nach Jerusalem zurück gebracht wurde. Er ließ sich dennoch - trotz Kritik - nicht davon abbringen. Dies war ein großartiger Tag. Sein Gott ist der einzig große und wahre Gott und David wollte vor ihm zelebrieren!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
David's wife, Michal, ridiculed her husband, the King, for his "undignified" exuberance as he rejoiced and danced before the Ark of the Covenant as it returned. Apparently, David wasn't kingly enough for Michal. David refused, however, to be deterred by her criticism. The ark's return was a reason for celebration. His God was the only true and living God. His God had given him victory after victory over dangerous foes. His God had preserved his people through hardships and difficulties over a long history of challenges, oppression, wandering, and battling. In his joyous delight, David was determined to celebrate before the Lord with a full heart, a dancing body, and without concern for his position in Israel. God had brought this day of deliverance, so David declared, "I will celebrate before the Lord." Shouldn't we?
Mein Gebet
Herr Gott Allmächtiger, voll Gnade und Barmherzigkeit, überwältigend in Macht und Heiligkeit – du bist meine Freude, meine Hoffnung, meine Zukunft. Ich freue mich in dir, denn du bist der Einzige - das einzige Wesen – dem aller Ruhm, Ehre und Preis gebührt. In Jesu Namen, bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, you are full of grace and mercy, awesome in power and holiness; you are my joy, my hope, and my future. I rejoice in you as the only One and the only thing worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. I will celebrate you, O Lord, for you alone are worthy of my praise! In Jesus' name, I cry, Hallelujah, and amen.
