Definition and Context:
The term "frolic" generally refers to playful and lively behavior, often characterized by lightheartedness and joy. In a biblical context, the concept of frolic is not directly mentioned by name in the Berean Standard Bible . However, the idea of joy, celebration, and playful behavior can be found throughout Scripture, often associated with times of festivity, worship, and divine blessing.

Biblical References and Themes:

1. Joy and Celebration:
The Bible frequently speaks of joy and celebration as responses to God's blessings and acts of deliverance. In the Old Testament, festivals and feasts were times of communal joy and celebration. For example, during the Feast of Tabernacles, the Israelites were commanded to rejoice before the Lord (Leviticus 23:40). This celebration included music, dancing, and communal meals, reflecting a spirit of frolic and joy.

2. Dancing and Music:
Dancing is often associated with joy and celebration in the Bible. King David famously danced before the Lord with all his might as the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:14). This act of exuberant worship can be seen as a form of frolic, expressing unrestrained joy in the presence of God.

3. Childlike Joy:
Jesus emphasized the importance of childlike faith and joy in the Kingdom of God. In Matthew 18:3, He said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Children are often seen as embodying the spirit of frolic through their innocence and joy.

4. Warnings Against Excess:
While the Bible encourages joy and celebration, it also warns against excessive revelry and indulgence. Proverbs 21:17 cautions, "He who loves pleasure will become poor; he who loves wine and oil will never be rich." The New Testament echoes this sentiment, urging believers to live soberly and righteously (Titus 2:12).

5. Heavenly Joy:
The ultimate expression of joy and celebration is found in the hope of eternal life with God. Revelation 19:7 describes the marriage supper of the Lamb, a time of great rejoicing and celebration in heaven: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him the glory! For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready."

Application for Believers:
Believers are encouraged to embrace joy and celebration as gifts from God, reflecting His goodness and grace. While engaging in frolic and festivity, Christians are called to maintain a balance, ensuring that their joy is rooted in righteousness and gratitude. The Bible presents a vision of joy that is both present in earthly celebrations and fulfilled in the eternal joy of God's presence.1. (a.)
