When the ark of God was finally brought into the tent in Jerusalem, David and all people rejoiced greatly. A new and glorious day had dawned for Israel as they once again recognized God as Lord over the nation. They presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to God. Through these offerings, they dedicated themselves to God. David blessed the people and gave them bread and cakes. The act of distributing food symbolizes the joy, fellowship, and unity that God’s blessing brought to the community. This event reminds us that our worship is to be God-centered, united through joyful fellowship.
David appointed a group of Levites to minister before the ark. These Levites were to play musical instruments regularly to invoke, thank, and praise the Lord through singing and by playing their instruments. The highlight of the celebration was David’s psalm that urged his people to give praise to God, to tell of God’s mighty deeds, and to seek Him always. We are to praise God because he has done his wonderful, life-giving works for us.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your wonderful work in and around me. Help me give praise and thanks to you always.
One Word: Thank and praise God
