2 Samuel 6:5-12 ~ Celebrating

2 Samuel 6:5-12

5 And David 

and all the house of Israel 

were celebrating before the Lord, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. 

6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, 

Uzzah put out his hand to the Ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the Ark of God. 

1 Corinthians 2:9 

As it is written, 

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, 

nor the heart of man imagined, 

what God has prepared 

for those 

who love Him”—

8 And David

was angry 

because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. 

9 And David 

was afraid of the Lord that day, 

and he said, “How can the Ark of the Lord come to me?” 

10 So David was not willing to take the Ark of the Lord into the city of David.

But David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

And the Ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months

And the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. 

In the Scriptures

Blessing is seen

with births, pregnancies

of household

and livestock

with crops

This occurs

with Sarai and Abram

in their new land

with Lot

before they became in

The Lord's eyes

Sarah and Abraham.

Jacob when 

in exile.

Joseph

out of Prison.

Hezekiah

refusing

to give up

The Temple

and Nation.

Mary and Joseph

as we read

of their famiy

in The Gospels.

 12 And it was told King David, 

“The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the Ark of God.” 

So 

David went and brought up the Ark of God

 from the house of Obed-edom 

to the city of David

 with 

REJOICING!

The Ark of God

was the invitation 

of God to be seated

The Ark of God

is

The Mercy Seat of God

The invitation

to be with us

EMMANUEL 

Our Invitation

for

JESUS CHRIST

to live 

within us

The oil of gladness instead of mourning

The garment of praise 

instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called 

Oaks of Righteousness

 The planting of the Lord, 

that He may be glorified.

They shall build up the ancient ruins;

    they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities

 The devastations of many generations

Abba, Father!

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

to become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Do all the Good

God puts 

forth

for you

To be 

the Voice

of LOVE

Joy, Peace, Patience,

Goodness,

Faithfulness,

gentleness

and

SELF CONTROL

Worldwide leaders

Let's pray

for the departure

of what

 is not

good. Evil.

We pray the Blessing

of Growth

of all

Proclaiming

Loving

Doing

the

Word of the Lord.

The safety 

of those

helping the earth 

to heal.

Peace

And in Jesus - This Hope.

Faith and Love - we will rise up Believing Jesus.

Amen
