Worship
the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Psalm
100:2
Thoughts~
I love flash mobs. To me they are what serendipity is
all about: Unexpected surprises! I’ve seen a lot of flash mobs on You Tube. .
but none in person yet. To me, a good flash mob is when there are lots of
unsuspecting people around who are blessed by the joy of other people’s love of
music. The smiles on the faces of the bystanders warm my heart in a way I can’t
describe. The unity of sharing a serendipitous event brings a brotherhood to be
enjoyed that is priceless.
Fourteen years ago I tried to get my coworkers to burst
into song and a choreographed dance when Rockin’ Robin came on the oldies
station but they weren’t interested. Most were too shy. That was before flash
mobs became popular and I imagine I could talk them into it today. How much fun
the clients and customers would have had if we had been brave enough to break
out into spontaneous singing and dancing.
My first introduction to a flash mob was when someone sent
me a link to one held in a train station in Belgium. I was shocked by the
emotion it brought: I cried! I’ve set my standard high and that particular one
was one of the best I’ve seen.
One day we will break into spontaneous singing and
dancing when we see Jesus in Heaven. Yes, there will be reference for Him, but
I believe there will be the most unbelievable celebration that will be an
ongoing act of worship in heaven. It will come natural to us; we won’t feel shy
when we raise our hands in praise or dance with a rejoicing heart. We will be
heavens flash mob and the angles will be blessed to watch us show our love for
our King of Kings. We will “Worship
the LORD with gladness and come before him with joyful songs.”
Action~
These are a few of my favorite flash mobs. Sit back with a cup of coffee or tea and
enjoy them. Three are Christian songs; one is an oldie you’ll recognize.
Pray~
Lord my heart reaches out to you in complete
abandonment. May I never feel shy about expressing my love for you and may I
learn to not care what the outside world thinks of my love for You.
Trusting in Him,
Becky
