Be a fool for God?

As i was reading the bible today, two statements hung on to my head so vividly...this someone who made the statements wasn't a nobody...He was King David...

King David brought the Ark Of God back to his own city and he was thrilled! He made 2 impacting statements:

1) I am willing to act like a fool in order to show my joy in the LORD.
2) Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this

(2Sam6:21-22 NLT)

King David so in so much joy that people might thought he was like a fool and as a king, how could he?? He didn't care, did he? He was focused on God, and on his joy. It didn't matter to him if he looked silly, if he did, so be it! And he said that he could look even more foolish!

Can we ever be like King David? So what if we held high positions in our job? So what if we are being looked up to by people? So what if we think we are important people? Can we put down everything and just be glad in the Lord? So what if I am a teacher? I will still praise God in the midst, even if my students think i am silly! I will still show my joy in the Lord, even if people around me stared with unbelief.

Will you too??
