PART 2: Choose GOD Over POPULARITY March 23rd, 2014 After the men who were carrying the Ark of the Lord had gone six steps, David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams horns. 2 Samuel 6:13-15 (NLT) When David returned home to bless his own family, Michael, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said in disgust, How distinguished the king of Israel looked today, shamelessly exposing himself to the servant girls like any vulgar person might do! David retorted to Michael, I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord. Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished! 2 Samuel 6:20-22 (NLT) Life Lesson 1: When we LIVE our LIFE for what OTHERS THINK, we really worship them OVER God. Life Lesson 2: When we are so concerned about OUR image, we will never reflect HIS image. Bottom Line: DONT follow God based on what others think. Greg Towler: Crossroads Church
