Daily Devotional – 10/2/11 “Dance on the devil head”

This morning when I rose I could have complained about the number of hours I didn’t sleep or how early I had to get up. I could have complained about the coldness in the air or the fact that I had to get out in it. I could have even complained about my long drive to church. But then I thought about my cousin who is laying in ICU and not able to do any of these things. I though of grandma who wants to go to church but can’t or granddaddy who would love to get up and walk but can’t but I can so who am I to complain?

When I begin to think about the blessings that God bestows on me day after day it makes me want to dance. When I think about how he has kept me through dangerous situations, I want to dance. When I think about the things that could have taken my life when I was in the world, it makes me want to dance. When I think about how God has blessed my family over & over, how he breathes life into my body each day, keeps my mind, sends new mercies my way each morning, it makes me want to dance!

Not only am I dancing to show my appreciation to God but I’m dancing on the devils head. I’m letting him know that he can’t have my joy, my peace, my children, my husband, my family, my friends, my mind, my car, my job, my happiness nor my life. I’m letting the devil know that even though you may try and show up from time to time, there is no room here. I won’t allow you to sleep in my guest room. So whatever situation you’re ready to send my way, send it cause I’m ready. Whoever you want to send to try and block my blessings, send them cause I’m ready. Whatsoever you try to do to me won’t prosper cause I’ve got the love of God in my heart and I’m covered by his blood. I know all my days won’t be easy and the sun won’t always shine but God’s word has prepared me for that and for you, so I’m ready.

So when times begin to get too much for you, dance on the devils head! When it seems like you’re taking 2 steps back, dance on the devils head! When your bills outweigh your money, dance on the devils head! When your spouse & kids aren’t acting like they belong to you, when sickness comes, death attacks your family & friends and it seems like there’s no answer..dance!!

Dance like there is no one watching. Dance like you have no problems. Dance like God will do just what he said he would! Dance! Dance on the devil’s head!
