Lord of the Dance


Day 91
Come dance with Me in the heavenly places. I want your joy to be complete. The more you know, experience, and understand Me, the more full and complete your joy will be.

I gave you imagination because it is the capacity to see without limit. Give your imagination to Me. My Spirit will take you places you could not have dreamed of in your own mind. Let your deepest desires and inner longings bubble up and float up into my hands. I will fulfill your deepest desires. Trust Me completely to handle and carefully sculpt your inner imaginings into the dreams I already have for your life. I want you to be something -- someone -- very amazing and prosperous -- a life-giver, drenched with pleasance and refreshment.

Come dance with Me. Let Me embrace and hold you, and I will infuse you with the energy of my great joy. I give you perfect peace.

The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing [Jeremiah 31:13].

He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them [Acts 3:8].

Bravo, God, bravo! Heavenly beings and all angels shout, "Encore!" In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him! God thunders across the waters, brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness—God, across the flood waters. God's thunder tympanic, God's thunder symphonic. God's thunder smashes cedars, God topples the northern cedars. The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats. God's thunder spits fire. God thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake. God's thunder sets the oak trees dancing, a wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches. We fall to our knees—we call out, "Glory!" Above the floodwaters is God's throne from which his power flows, from which he rules the world. God makes his people strong. God gives his people peace [Psalm 29, The Message].
