#soap # 2 Samuel 06 ## Title: Dance With The One That Brung Ya ## Scripture: (2 Samuel 6:21-22) David replied to Michal, “It was before the Lord! I was celebrating before the Lord, who chose me over your father and his entire family and appointed me as leader over the Lord’s people Israel. I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this. But with the slave girls whom you mentioned, let me be distinguished.” (NET) ## Observation: There is this old phrase that says, “Dance with the one that brung ya.” It comes from the idea that, if you go to a dance with someone, you should dance with that person. They are the reason you are there. An example of this in a wider context would be that if you make it to the state championship, don’t change up your game plan once there. Do what has worked for you all season. David has been honest and sincere with God this whole time. Read the Psalms. He has rejoiced, complained, cried, and celebrated the Lord. Now that this big moment has happened, he stays true to God and their relationship. In our lives, we must remember to celebrate the one who got us to where we are. No one is a “self-made man.” Without God, we wouldn’t have the air in our lungs, the heart in our chest, or the ability to do anything. Celebrate with the one who “brung you.” ## Application: Take time today to celebrate with the Lord. You may not be who you want to be, but by God’s grace you are not who you used to be. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us through every valley and every mountain. You are solid, secure, and trustworthy through it all.
