I will be humiliated in my own eyes

2 Samuel 6:1-23
He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark. David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets, harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals. The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent actDavid was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?”
The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his entire household. Now King David was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.
Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord.  I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”
Why?
God is good and God is awesome. God is full of mercy and righteousness. 
Come to the Lord with rejoicing for God is worthy to be worshipped.
Michal looks king should be a ruler with authority and gentle altitude, but David knew before the Lord he is a man. It is the grace come upon him.
David heard that God blesses the house of Obed-Edom, so he like to invited Ark of the Lord to city of David.
大衛把約櫃當作貨物來運送,Uzzah對約櫃沒有在意。後來大衛知道約櫃可以移動。
為何一點機會也不給烏撒?約櫃必須用摃的,有熱心,用人的方法來做,不警醒、不注意,而得罪神。大衛和神關係密切,而在此事疏忽,因為太親密而超過了界限。生死與共的神人關係,也不能超越神的聖潔關係,不可侵犯。我們用什麼態度來朝見神!用什麼態度來服事。有人說神看人內心,但是這只對一半,神也看外表。人只看外表,因為人看不到內心。我們因為和神很輕鬆,所以穿的也很輕鬆。聖經沒有說神不看外表。是否我們因為自己方便,想要輕鬆,所以用這話(因為我與神很親密)作為自己穿輕鬆的藉口。
神聖潔、不可侵犯。
極力跳舞,可能跳到瘋了!這些都沒有關係。大衛沒有穿國王衣服,而穿祭司的細麻衣。每個人在神面前都是一樣,都是卑微的,輕濺的。把自己放到最低,在神面前,這些婢女反而會尊敬他,因為敬畏神!我們在神面前是不可輕慢的,因神同在盡情歡樂,此兩者可以並存。看重神!不是裝模作樣!
How?
Fear the Lord and praise the Lord.
