The strange ways of God
Commentary
The sight of David and his entourage singing and dancing before the ark to the accompaniment of lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals catches the attention along with the wet blanket response of Michal who frowned on such unkingly behavior. This scene has inspired a good many sermons encouraging congregations to loosen up and put some "joie de vie" into their worship. Lord knows, we need such encouraging, especially some of us New England church folk who have often been called "God's frozen people."
