As I mentioned in yesterday's teaching, God created you for His pleasure (), and He specifically created every part of your body for a purpose. Yesterday, I taught about God's purpose for your hands, and today, I will be teaching about the legs.
One of the main reasons God created your legs is so that they can dance for Him. says:
Praise him with the timbrel and dance:praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
God expects you to use your legs to dance for Him. In today's Bible reading, a man was born lame, and even though he always sat at the gate of the temple and could hear the praises from inside, he couldn't dance. On that fateful day, he asked the apostles for money, but God had arranged for his legs to finally be able to dance for Him. He didn't get the money he asked for, but Peter took him by the hand, and his ankle bones received strength. The Bible says that he entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. May you always have reasons to dance, in Jesus' name.
If you want to know how important dancing is to God, you should read . In that passage, David was dancing to God, but his wife reprimanded him because she thought that he had abased himself by dancing shamelessly. God was so upset with her, and as a result, she never had a child until she died. No matter how great you become in life, you must always ensure that you use your legs to dance for the One who lifted you.
Many years ago, we were at a meeting of pastors. During the praise session, I closed my eyes to avoid distractions as I danced to the King of kings. One of the men of God needed to get my attention for something, but he couldn’t, because my eyes were shut. When he finally got me to open my eyes, he said, “Look at you, don't you know you are a General Overseer?” I ignored him because I was dancing to the One who made me a General Overseer, and I will keep dancing for Him until my last breath.
Beloved, ensure that you always show your gratitude to God by praising Him and dancing for Him. This way, He will continue to lift you up, and you will never cease to experience the beauty of His salvation ().
