“Let them praise His name with the dance; let them sing praises to Him
with the timbrel and harp.  For the Lord
takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.”  (Psalm 149:3-4)

We are creatures that love
sound, movement, and activity.  The Lord
has created us to be as we are.  Come
into the Lord’s presence as You are and then live the life to which He calls
you.  You do not exist for yourself, but
have been created in the image of the One who made You and for His
purpose.  Know that in the Lord alone is
there true life and liberty.  He calls
you unto Himself.

Lord, I am a created being and You have called me to walk according to
the purpose for which I have been created. 
Guide me, O Lord, in the way of salvation that I would now and always
walk according to Your purposes.  Teach
me those purposes and how to faithfully live them out in this life.  Show me Your purposes for my life and help me
to walk humbly in the salvation You have prepared.

Lord Jesus, Redeemer of the
world, guide me according to the Father’s will this day that I would live into
the life for which You have called me. 
May I be humble and submit to Your authority and be guided by Your
Spirit.  Lead me, O Lord, and help me to
follow that I would live the life of praise and thanksgiving to which I have
been called.  Let my life be a dance of
joy in Your presence.  Amen.
