BACKGROUND
David had the Ark transported properly from Obed-Edom (see 13:14) to a tent in Jerusalem. This includes the musicians, one of whom you will hear quite a bit from as we read Psalms 73-83 in the next eight days. That chief musician is Asaph who sounds the bronze cymbals. David dances as the Ark is brought into Jerusalem!
REFLECTION
The key word I see in this chapter is JOY! The musicians raised sounds of JOY, and they brought the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom with JOY!
APPLICATION
Do everything with JOY today! (Maybe even do a little dance before the Lord?)
2023 Update:
Is JOY part of your life? Jesus came that we might have it in abundance. You might really benefit from the book Joyful Journey: Listening to Immanuel which gives more of the background of why I think Immanuel Journaling is such a wonderful practice!
PRAYER
Lord, thank You that every day can be a day of JOY when we focus on You. I love how I am seeing the worship throughout Chronicles this time and not the drudgery of chronologies! Thank You for opening my eyes. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
