Samuel 5:11-6:23; 1 Chronicles 13-16. Time to Celebrate!

David led the procession to bring the Ark back to Jerusalem, but the first time they carelessly put it on a cart rather than the way Moses had instructed them. Imagine being in that procession and then seeing the hand of the Lord strike one of the procession as he reached up to stabilize the cart. Wrong directions caused his death so why was David angry at the Lord? When do we surmise this is the way by what we think is the right way only to face His discipline?  There is a lesson there for us, do it the way God directed.

The second time David instructed the men to carry it on poles as Moses had instructed and this time it was successful. When we do God’s work, we must do it as He instructed. When that happens, we can, like David, celebrate and celebrate they did!  

What has God instructed you to do and will you seek His direction so you do it correctly?
