Tucked neatly into this verse is a model for how we should worship God. I think in our church and probably most we have a service on Sunday's that really does align with this model which I'm sure is no accident. But I'm thinking this should be just how I live each day, just during my few hours at church on Sunday. Afterall it doesn't say Give praise to the Lord, from 9:30 to 10:30 each Sunday at Westview.
Going back to Chapter, there was on verse at the very end that didn't seem to fit. What do you make of this?
29 As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart.

that is a strange verse, and its sitting there all by itself. No context. My take would be that all of Saul's family probably hated David. I'm sure that well had been well poisoned by Saul. David's success represents all of Saul's failure. But, its still weird to put that in there. Maybe it just shows that even when you acting in accordance to God's will, there will be those that oppose you. If for no other reason, than just the want to see you fail.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted here. I read 15 yesterday, but didn't have anything intelligent to write about.
