Let them praise his name in the dance...for the Lord taketh pleasure in his people...praise God in his sanctuary...praise him with the timbrel and dance... Psalm 149:3,4, and Psalm 150:1,4
Worship is the only ministry that will continue throughout all eternity! In the scripture there are many references to praise and worship. Every reverence, whether in the Hebrew or Greek is an action word. Dance is one expression of many in which to worship the Lord. Though dance in itself is not worship, if it is an outflow of the heart of the worshipper, and is led by the Holy Spirit, it becomes a powerful form of worship, that can be used not only to bless the Lord, but also to minister to others who may happen to be observing this expression of love and admiration to the Lord. To be so passionatly in love with Jesus, that we abandon ourselves to his presence, and are enthrawled with his glory takes the worshipper to a level of intimacy that is comparable to nothing else in this life.
Dance was first mentioned in Exodus 15:20 when Miriam led the women in the timbrel and dance, after God destroyed the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. This was a time of victorious celebration of praise to the Lord, as the children of Israel were delivered from their captors. The dance was an outflow of the joy of the people for the mighty things the Lord had done. How much more should we celebrate the awesome things God has done for us!
