When King David was bringing the Ark back to Jerusalem, he stopped every 6 steps to worship God. Upon entering the city, his wife saw him acting, in her eyes, so unbecoming a king. She chastised him for making such a public display of himself. To which David said that he was dancing before the Lord. It was for Him that he was celebrating. And then he told her, "I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes." How many of us are willing to make a public spectacle of ourselves for the Lord? We are so worried about what we look like. But King David cared only for the audience of One.
