“Celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us his extravagant mercy. For his fountain of mercy has given us a new life—we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

1 Peter 1:3 TPT

Celebration in almost every culture includes dancing.  When we get happy it tends to get into our feet.  When Papa overwhelms us with His goodness or displays His glory in ways we are not expecting, the joy that rises up in our hearts naturally causes us to jump, shout and dance in response.  Just think of how children react to surprise parties, gifts or great news.  Don’t we say that someone was jumping for joy, or dancing with delight?

The fountains are always a cause for rejoicing and are closely connected to the wells which represent the goodness of God.  The fountains of the Word are many, here we see the fountain of mercy.  In many verses we see the fountain of life. Others include the fountain of grace, the fountain of life, the fountain of hope, the fountain of pleasure, the fountain of forgiveness.  It is from His many fountains that blessings flow to us.

To me dancing in the fountains means rejoicing in the goodness and blessings of each particular fountain as I realize Papa has activated it in my life.  Does it always mean I’m doing the Holy Ghost two-step, well no but it probably should.  It’s like my Grandpa used to say “Let your face known you are happy and smile.  We should be demonstrating our joy and excitement about who Papa God is in our lives all the time!

So, yes, let’s dance in those fountains with all our might,  like David danced before the Lord with complete abandonment.   Dancing like nobody’s watching, but knowing Papa has His eye on us and is thoroughly enjoying our dance.
