And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD. — 2 Samuel 6:21

David was made fun of for dancing and being so happy when the Ark of the Covenant came back home. He did not let the criticism stop him, though. When the ark came back, there was a party. His God was the only one who was real and alive. His God had helped him beat dangerous enemies time and time again. His God has kept His people alive through a long history of challenges, oppression, wandering, and fighting. David was sure he would, and he was happy to be able to celebrate in front of the Lord. We should, right?
