These days almost anything is put on TV. I’ve noticed a trend of dancing shows appearing in primetime: Dancing with the stars and So you think you can dance are just two of them. In reality show competitions, dance groups have also performed very well. I’ve even seen ads for dancing movies (no remakes of Footloose just yet). What is it about dancing that catches the eye? Well, there seems to be something very beautiful about a couple or a group that is in step together. The rhythm, anticipation, athleticism and flexibility surely is something to watch. As much of America is swept away by some sort of dancing fever, I encourage you to get caught up in it too…in a different sense. Galatians 5:25 says this, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (emphasis added). One way to think of your life as a Christian is as a dance with the Holy Spirit. Are you in step with the Spirit? Do you need practice listening and learning about your dance partner? When we keep in step with the Spirit, we act and live the way we were designed and called to live. It is the most fulfilling way to live. Thankfully, it doesn’t mean you have to break out your old dance moves.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8
