I AM, the Lord of the Dance

My husband and I enjoy dancing so much that we use to belong to a dance club which rented a hall regularly for dances. Our DJ was a very nice Christian man, and one night he played “Amazing Grace” arranged with a waltz tempo. My husband asked me if I would like to dance. I hesitated because I thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to dance to this, especially in a secular setting.  My husband said, “Do you want to dance or not?”

As soon as we began to flow together to this wonderful message of God’s incredible grace, I realized we were acting out a picture of the Bridegroom and His Bride. Who better should dance this song of grace than two very different people who are joined together by love and a commitment to the grace-giver Himself.  There is no sacred and secular even in dancing, I thought. All my moves are for Christ. Everything I do and say are centered in Him.

Though you may have two left feet and would never dance in public, your life is still a dance with Jesus. He leads, you follow. He chooses the dance, the song, the place, and the tempo.

There is a song that has been around for many years titled, The Lord of the Dance. A line in the chorus reads, “’Dance then wherever you may be; I am the Lord of the dance,’ said He.”  So enjoy the dance He invites you to join Him in. You just might find out something about yourself you didn’t realize was there.
