Don't Let Anyone Hinder Your Praise

Today as I was in my quiet time with the Lord,

The Holy Spirit had me reflect on my manner of praise when in church service.

I have a tendency to be more reserved and quiet in my manner of praise when at church.

I always feel a bit restrained in the natural, while my spirit man is rising up, leaping within.

I look around and see others quietly sitting, swaying, clapping, evidently not caught up in the experience of an awesomeness God, that I am experiencing.

So I sit and sway, clap and possibly stand with uplifted hands, while my spirit takes flight.

Then I heard Him say " Don't let anyone hinder your praise, for you know all that I've done in your life, you know what manner of wickedness I have delivered you from, and the trials and storms I have carried you through, you have reflected on these remembering and are grateful. Show me again how grateful you are, even in the presence of  multitudes."

Then bringing these scriptures to my memory.

Luke 7:47 " Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much, but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."

I am she, who has been forgiven much, and therefore love much.

So I will dance, I will praise, I will sing to the Lord unashamed in the presence of multitudes.

2 Samuel 6:21,22 " So David said to Michal, "It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music, before the Lord. 22) "And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight..."

I say to you, what the Lord has spoken to me "Don't let anyone hinder your praise.
