1 Chronicles 15:
King David brought the Ark of God into the tent he had prepared for it.
He gathered the people, asked the priest and all the family of Levi to
consecrate themselves, and the Levites carried the Ark on their shoulders rather
than on oxen as Moses had commanded. David and the Levites wore
linen, and everyone danced to the loud music as they rejoiced for God and the
Ark coming into Jerusalem. When Michal, David's wife and Saul's daughter,
saw David dancing and rejoicing, she despised him. Is she for the father
or the husband? Should she not be rejoicing that God has entered the city of her
husband - David? Try to follow God's word or pay for it. Only
priests were supposed to carry the Ark of God and on their shoulders. This
is what killed Uzzah when the touched the Ark.
1 Chronicles 16: King David placed the Ark in the tent he had set aside for it, gave offerings
before God, and shared the meat from the offerings with every Israelite along
with bread and raisins. He then, appointed ministers from the Levites to
minister before the Ark. David wrote a song of thanks, which they all sang
and praised God. A great leader unifies his people before God in oneness,
fairness, and orderliness. A useless leader divides his people across
racism, sexism, tribalism, and religions affiliations in an attempt to create
classes of have and have-not. The aim is to make the have-nots subservient
to those that have, which includes the leader, his few undesirable friends, and
worthless family members. |

1 Chronicles 17:
David told Prophet Nathan that he was not going to let
the Ark of God be in a tent when he lives in a palace build with cedar.
God then sent words to David through Nathan that one of his sons will build
God's temple and God will be with that son all the days of his life.
God
also promised not to cut the son off like he did to Saul and was going to make
David's name like the great ones of the earth. David went before God to
spend time with God and to find out why God even bothered to favor him among all
people and Israel among the nations. He then thanked God and begged God to
keep and fulfill all the good promises about him and his descendants forever.
So you can humble yourself to spend time with God and ask for anything.
You can even encourage God to make a promise in your affairs and patiently wait
for him to fulfill it. How great is God Almighty?
1 Chronicles 18:
David defeated all his enemies such as the Philistines, Moabites, Syrians,
Edomites, and Amalekites. Many became his servants and brought tributes to
Jerusalem. A follower of God may suffer some setbacks, but he reigns
supreme. |
