We get loud. We jump. We shout. We dance. We run. But we do so with very good reason. No, we're not at a good concert getting our jam on or at the game shouting and cheering for our favorite team. We are entertaining the presence of our God - and nothing should be done more exuberantly than that.

Each of us has a testimony of where Jesus found and saved us (Psalms 40:2). He took away our sin and delivered us from all manner of addictions, sickness, disease, hopeless situations... the list goes on. Like the song goes: "You don't know, like I know, what He's done for me!" We are praising and worshiping the One who has saved us. (Isaiah 12:2)

Look to the example of King David, who was favored greatly by the Lord for his earnest love and adoration, when he was able to be in the presence of God and enter into the tabernacle, he danced. And he jumped. And he shouted. And he got so loud that his own wife even mocked him. Yet he refused to be silent and reserved for her sake. In fact, he retorted that he would get even more unabashed in his praise to the Lord Almighty because He alone is worthy. 2 Samuel 6:14-22.

If David, a man after God's own heart, could rejoice so openly without having been able to accept the gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ, how much more should we who have access to and can proclaim His Holy Name jump for joy?

So please join us in singing with all your heart (Psalms 95:1-2) and lifting your hands to praise God aloud (Psalms 134:2). We clap our hands to the Lord (Psalms 47:1) and pray together out loud (Acts 4:24 and Acts 12:12). Bless His name with us! (Psalms 100:4) He alone is worthy! (Deuteronomy 10:21, Revelation 5:12, Psalm 145:3)
