Michal - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Michal - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased. “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.”

— 1 Samuel 18:20 – 21

As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

— 2 Samuel 6:16

REFLECT ON:	1 Samuel 19:11 – 17; 2 Samuel 6:16 – 23.
PRAISE GOD:	Because he is the same — yesterday, today, and forever.
OFFER THANKS:	That God gives us the freedom to choose how we will respond to him.
CONFESS:	Allowing skepticism or cynicism to infiltrate your faith.
ASK GOD:	To increase your awe of him.

Lift Your Heart

David was so exuberant that he danced in public as a way of worshiping God. You may not be quite ready to take your joy to the streets, but you can loosen up a bit by raising your hands in prayer, visiting a church whose worship style is a little outside your comfort zone, or just dancing and singing along with a praise and worship tape when no one else is home. Go ahead. Enjoy yourself in God’s presence! If he’s not worth getting excited about, who is?

Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name” (Psalm 66:1 – 4).
