fumbling toward emptiness

2 Samuel 6:16 Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

The final verse of this chapter reveals that David's wife was barren all the days of her life from this point on. This verse hints at the cause.

I believe one of the fastest ways to reach spiritual barrenness is to despise the worship of another.

Let your heart be guarded against the snare of quiet rebellion stirred up by the outward expression of a believer who is as free in worship as you secretly wish you were.
