Day 124: 1st Chronicles 13-16

Today on Meditating the Word, the Ark is brought from Kiriath-Jearim and left with Obed-Edom, David is established in Jerusalem, the Philistines are defeated, the Ark is brought to Jerusalem and placed in the tent prepared for it, David sings a song of thanksgiving, and regular worship is established.

This is Day 123. We are reading from the 1st Book of Chronicles 13-16.

Father God, what a glorious celebration that must have been, bringing the Ark of the Covenant, your very presence, back to the city. Once again, David showed his heart by singing and dancing with abandon out of the pure joy of worshiping you. May we worship you with the same love and abandon, not caring what others might think, because our worship is between us and you alone. And may we never forget how blessed we are that your spirit now resides, not in an Ark in a tabernacle somewhere, but in us. We are never without your presence. Thank you Father, Amen
