"And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back, so shake him off"
I love this song. Everytime it comes on, something changes within me and I prepare myself to sing this song as loud as I can. I shout it, windows down for the world to hear, and I don't care if someone in the car next to me is staring. I've adopted it as my theme song for this season.
One thing I love to do is dance. I love dancing and usually will embarrase myself with some of the moves that I do, but I love it so much that I usually don't care. I'm not the best (probably not good at all), but God has instilled a love for dance in me, and He's told me to dance.
He's told me to dance in His freedom,
dance because I'm loved,
dance because I'm worthy,
dance because I'm forgiven.
So I dance, for my King.
With saying yes to the race, the devil is trying to stop my dancing. He's trying to hop on my back and weigh me down, so much, that I just give up. It's hard, and a lot of things are unknown right now, but I know I was meant to dance, and that does not include him on my back. He tries to whisper lies to me, and when I recognize that, I "shake him off." It's not always easy, but I serve a good God, and
I know I was called, and that God has given me the strength to endure.
So I enter this season dancing. Unsure of what's to come, but dancing in praise regardless of what happens. I will dance with my hands held high in surrender, and dance to shake the devil off and all his lies. It's hard to dance with the devil on my back, but God has given me the power to overcome, the power to just shake him off. Everyday until January, and even after that, I'm deciding to dance.
I will dance in the good moments,
I will dance in the bad moments,
and most importanly,
I will dance in the moments that are unknown.
"Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow."
Jeremiah 31:13
