Expect Godናሙና

 

I had a dream and in it Jesus was singing, “Come and dance with me.” I responded back and simply said, “I’ll dance with You Lord, but I don’t really know what You mean.” When I woke up, the melody and words were still ringing in my ears. 

I meditated on the dream and looked up scriptures about dancing. So many of the scriptures referenced victory or war dances, but the melody He sang to me was different. It was beckoning me in an authoritative, yet loving, way.  

God, Abba Father, brought to my mind a picture of how a little girl will stand on her daddy’s feet as he leads her into a dance. I believe that’s what God was trying to tell me. I don’t have to know the steps if I’m standing on His feet. I just have to be willing to dance with Him, to trust Him, to let Him lead. 

So I stepped on nail-scarred feet and let the dance begin. With each step I gained more freedom, greater love, and deeper trust. My life’s dance was being perfected by standing on my King’s feet, by learning the rhythm, and hearing the songs He was singing over my life. 

It doesn’t matter where we are in life, the steps we may have forgotten, or perhaps never even knew. The dance can begin today. You can hear the song of Heaven for your life. God is waiting to dance with you. Step by step, He will teach you to trust, He will teach you to allow Him to lead, and He will teach you to hear the heartbeat of Heaven and dance along.  

“Come and dance with Me

Stand on my feet, Let me lead

Step by step, Beat by beat

Into Your destiny, dance with Me.”

God was calling me to go beyond believing and to fully trust Him. The words translated “trust” in the Bible literally mean “a bold, confident, sure security or action based on that security.” To trust is not the same as having faith or belief. Rather, trusting is what we do because of our faith. Trusting is believing in the promises of God in all circumstances, especially in those where the evidence seems to be to the contrary. 

Trust in the One who wrote a beautiful story for your life and has plans to prosper you and give you a hope and a future.
