David danced with all his might before the Lord. He wasn’t performing. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone. He was simply overwhelmed by the presence of God. But as he worshipped in total surrender, Michal—his wife—looked on with disdain. She couldn’t understand the joy, the freedom, the intimacy David had with the Lord. And instead of being drawn in, she pulled away.
“As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.” (AMP)
She judged him. Scripture never shows Michal sharing David’s passion for God. This moment exposes a deeper truth: when someone’s heart is bitter, wounded, or hardened, they may not celebrate your closeness with God—they may resent it. What a reminder of how living in offense
hurts us!
Sometimes, our passion for the Lord will make others uncomfortable—not because we’re doing anything wrong, but because His light exposes what they haven’t dealt with. Your freedom might irritate someone still stuck in unforgiveness. Your joy might offend someone nursing old wounds.
But we don’t stop dancing.
We keep worshiping. We keep seeking. We keep pouring ourselves out before the Lord—because our worship isn’t about who’s watching… it’s about the One we’re honoring.
