2 Samuel 6:20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal, daughter of Saul, came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”

At the point of this verse, this is the story thus far:
For some time Saul has hunted David and his men. Twice, David is in the position to kill Saul, but lets him go. Each time Saul backs off, but only for a short time. Then the Philistine’s attack and Saul is killed in battle. Eventually, David becomes King of all Israel.

Once David is King, the Philistines renew their attacks. After David defeats the Philistines, he decides to move the Ark of the Covenant. (This was a chest that contained the tablets the Ten Commandments were written on, and perhaps a few other important items from the time of the Exodus).

There is great rejoicing as the Ark is brought into Jerusalem. David goes before the procession and dances with all his might. Michal, his wife, watches him from a window. Then she accosts David in the above verse.

To paraphrase David’s response, “First, I was not dancing in front of slave girls. I was dancing before the Lord God Almighty. And second, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”

As a result of this encounter, David does not bless his house. Michal would be barren, and the best days of her life would be behind her.

As with Michal, sometimes our own ideas, whether they are judgmental attitudes, unfounded prejudices, or we simply try to put God in a box; get in the way of our own blessings
