Let ‘er Rip!


David again brought together out of Israel chosen men, thirty thousand in all. …David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals. 2 Samuel 6:1, 5

David loved to celebrate before the Lord! I don't even know what sistrums are, but he used them.

I can see it now, 30,000 men dancing and singing and playing all of those instruments. As a harpist himself, David probably led the entire worship team. He had wars to fight, enemies to conquer, an entire Kingdom to rule, but he took the time to worship. It's very clear how we can apply this to our frantic lives.

But there's another little phrase that we can't overlook: "with all their might." Sometimes we just need to get caught up into worship, just let it all go, forgetting that there are others around us, forgetting that you're dignified and proper. It may be in private or it may be when the church is full, but we need to do it. How often we do it is entirely up to you, but sometimes we just need to "let 'er rip."
