TELL DEM BONES TO PRAISE THE LORD!
David declared his intent to praise the Lord “with every bone” in his body in anticipation of the Lord’s rescue. David would not offer the Lord half-hearted worship. He was a whole-hearted worshiper, and out of that came a commitment to whole-bodied praise. David would hold nothing back from God in his worship. As he told his wife after she attempted to shame him for publicly dancing before the Ark of the Lord, “I will be even more undignified than this” (1 Sam. 6:22). David didn’t care for the opinion of others. He sought the applause of the One.
Just as God told Ezekiel to preach to the bones and the bones came to life (Ez. 37:4-5), so David preached to his own bones that they would worship the Lord!
How are your bones doing today? Are they stiff and sore? Tell “dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones” to hear the Word of the Lord! And to come alive in worship! For worship is more than singing praises, it’s also serving others in Jesus’ name. So get them bones moving today for Jesus!
PRAYER: Dear Father, we offer You our all today, body and soul. We praise You not only with our words, but with our actions today. Strengthen us by Your Spirit to praise You with all our being. In Jesus’ name, amen.
