There’s a kind of worship that doesn’t make sense to the world. It’s the kind that lifts hands in surrender when everything is falling apart. The kind that sings with joy in the middle of the storm. The kind that dances before the Lord, unashamed and unrestrained.

David did this in 2 Samuel 6. As the Ark of the Covenant returned to Jerusalem, he couldn’t contain his joy. He danced with all his might, indifferent to what others thought of him. His wife, Michal, despised his undignified worship, but this was how David responded:

“I will become even more undignified than this.” (2 Samuel 6:22)

To the world, he may have looked foolish. But David didn’t care. He knew the truth. That God’s Presence is worth everything.

When we encounter His Presence, joy overflows. Psalm 16:11 reminds us, “In Your presence is fullness of joy.” It’s a joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances, but on the unshakable reality of who He is. It’s a joy that breaks chains, that lifts burdens and draws us into deeper surrender.

Like David and like Pr Chew, I don’t mind being a fool for God. If loving Him looks foolish to the world, so be it. Our God is worthy of everything.

Let us not hold back in worship. May we always embrace the joy of His Presence, undignified and unashamed. Because in the Kingdom of God, there is no ‘final’ — only deeper encounters with Him.
