Ep. 171: Worship Like There’s Nobody Watching

<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 171, “Worship Like There’s Nobody Watching,” Kim discusses the importance of worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth. So often, we equate worship with music. Although music can be a part of personal and corporate worship, the posture of the heart is the starting place for pure worship. Worship should be totally focused on the Lord, not for the benefit of those who might be watching. The Lord’s approval is all that matters. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 6:12-23 with 20-22 as the focal verses.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">20 When David returned home to bless his own family, Michal, 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!”</p> <p class="p3">21 David retorted to Michal, “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. 22 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!”</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.:</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">29 But as the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David skipping about and laughing with joy, she was filled with contempt for him. (1 Chronicles 15:29)</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p5"><a href='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm+145&version=NLT'>Psalm 145</a></p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching
