II Samuel 6:21-22 ” I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.”

King David and the entire house of Israel are bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. There was much joy and gladness as the procession moved along. Verse 14 tells us that David removed his royal robes and danced before the Lord with all his might… which infuriated his wife, Michal, who chastised him for his undignified behavior. But David rejected her sarcastic remarks, instead telling her that he was willing to become completely abased that the Lord may receive the honor due Him. We can celebrate loudly & exuberantly for touchdowns and homeruns, but when it comes to celebrating before the Lord, we feel we must be subdued, muted, and restrained in our joy. But like David, we should be able to celebrate, not holding anything back in our expression of heartfelt worship.
