David Gathered all the Levites. I Chronicles 15

 

I Chronicles 15 – David Gathered all the Levites

 

You will recall that David blamed God when Uzza was struck down for reaching out to stable the ark. Then David realized he himself was the one that was in the wrong, and he confessed that.

 

After he gathered the Levites to carry the ark, being the musician that he was, he wanted music with all of this. He wanted the brass band, the orchestra and all the choirs. It was to be a great day when the ark of God was brought to Jerusalem. This was the high point of David’s coming to Jerusalem. Then they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. All these sacrifices pointed to Christ.

 

The world in that day heard about David bringing up the ark to Jerusalem. Visitors from other countries probably said, “You should have been in Jerusalem with me. It was a great day!”

 

There is nothing in the newscasts, nothing on the front pages of the newspapers, which is spiritual, or which shows the joy of the Lord. Today that which is spiritual and joyful has disappeared from the life of America. That is when we as a nation have begun to die.

 

Then we see that not everyone was in accord with David in this celebration.

Michal was Saul’s daughter and the first wife of David. She looked at him showing his enthusiasm and joy in serving the Lord, and she thought in her heart, He is a religious fanatic.

 

We need the underlying river of joy flowing through the hearts and lives of God’s people.
