Honoring God
David Honors God
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
David Worships God in Jerusalem
1 Chronicles 13:5-8 New International Version
5 So David assembled all Israel, from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim. 6 David and all Israel went to Baalah of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. 8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals, and trumpets.
For Reflection
David, the king of the theocracy, was determined to bring back the symbol of God's presence to a more public accessible place. Worshipers were lax in their adherence to their religious practices. The return was celebrated in the most exuberant ways.
Pray
Pray so that the religious rituals and practices of your faith carry substance. Pray so that you worship your God with all your mind and soul.
