2 Samuel 6:14-15
v. 14: David joins the celebration with great joy. He dances before the Lord with all his strength. His dancing comes from his heart—it is not planned or formal, but a natural way to show his happiness. He wears a simple linen ephod instead of his royal clothes so he can move freely, just as Samuel had done before (1 Samuel 2:18 a). David is not embarrassed to act like a servant before God. This shows that we should serve God with all our might, no matter our position. v. 15: All the people join in. They bring the ark to Jerusalem with shouts and the sound of trumpets. This public celebration shows their happiness and invites everyone around to rejoice with them. When people can worship God together openly and freely, it is a reason to celebrate.
