David consulted with all his officials, including the generals and captains of his army. Then he addressed the entire assembly of Israel as follows: “If you approve and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send messages to all the Israelites throughout the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pasturelands. Let us invite them to come and join us. It is time to bring back the Ark of our God, for we neglected it during the reign of Saul.” The whole assembly agreed to this, for the people could see it was the right thing to do. But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark. Then the Lord’s anger was aroused against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had laid his hand on the Ark. So Uzzah died there in the presence of God. David was angry because the Lord’s anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez-uzzah (which means “to burst out against Uzzah”), as it is still called today. David was now afraid of God, and he asked, “How can I ever bring the Ark of God back into my care?” So David did not move the Ark into the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath. The Ark of God remained there in Obed-edom’s house for three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and everything he owned. {1 Chronicles 13} 🙏🏼 Lord, when the world tries to steady your glory, may we not be afraid to watch you burst out. Though we may watch many die in your Presence, let us not be afraid to take the Ark into our home where we may be blessed like Obed-edom, as Elizabeth was blessed by your Presence in Mary. #CountdownToTheKingdom #illuminationofconscience #theWarning #3Days #Adoration #theComing #theComing #JOY #AdoreHim #catholiclife #inhispresence #catholicphotography #prophecy #wotd #scriptureoftheday #HolyOne #WakingEve https://www.instagram.com/p/CJc3K2rgW-n/?igshid=165gfb7kb5yt0
