Today's Favorite Verse: 1 Chronicles 15:2, 13, 25
"Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-edom with joy."
This second attempt to carry the ark to Jerusalem is now done with joy. That is because it was done in its proper order, and with the Lord's approval. The first attempt and its failure resulting in the death of Uzza was a great lesson for them to repent and learn from. I thought of the great joy that comes when you are right with the Lord.
