The Delight of Dance

Wakanda News Details

The Delight of Dance

I want to focus on some words that capsulize the Psalmist David’s love experience with the God who loved His soul.

As I relax in His arms, I want Him to lead in the dance as we waltz to the tune of “Have Thine Own Way, Lord.”

I believe that David put every ounce of his love, affection, and loyalty into this dance.

The Rev. Dr. Maxine Thomas is a professor at Simmons College of Kentucky.

Additionally, Dr. Thomas is the founder and executive director of Sisters Keeping the Covenant, a ministry of healing and wholeness for women and teen girls.
