Resurrection Dance...Let it Flow!
/A few weeks ago, I was getting ready to teach through a difficult passage of Scripture in my weekly ladies Bible study. I had asked the Lord to give me an easy time during the week while I was studying. Well, from my limited human perspective, just the opposite happened. Whatever could go "wrong," did just that! So by the end of the week, I was ready to "go over the edge!" That's when the precious Spirit of God said to my heart, "Abandon yourself to the lesson, and just let it flow!" So I did, and it did, by the grace of God!

A few days later, my daughter posted the following on facebook after her zumba class at the gym:
I'm so stiff. In dance at University of Dayton I remember the instructor saying that true dancing came after learning the steps and just letting it flow. I don't think I've ever been able to do that in dance or life.
What would happen, dear friends, if we would abandon ourselves to the Risen, Indwelling Christ and just let Him flow? What would our dance be like? What would our life be like? If New Covenant living means, "God does it, therefore we do it," then our life could be God dances, so we dance!
May it ever be so, O our glorious Jesus...Dancer Par Excellence!

We have often asserted and we affirm it yet again That no fact in History is better attested than the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead It must not be denied by any who are willing to pay the slightest respect to the testimony to their fellow men. That Jesus, who died upon the cross and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimethia, did literally rise again from the dead.

This Easter may you put all your eggs in one basket -- all your joys and fears, sadness and tears, in the one and only risen Lord. Happy Easter! Beth Loyd Filson 2013
It is God’s will that I should castOn Him my care each day;He also bids me not to castMy confidence away.
But oh, I am so foolishThat when taken unawares,I cast away my confidenceAnd carry all my cares. T. Baird*
