So David asked the Lord, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?”The Lord replied to David, “Yes, go ahead. I will certainly hand them over to you.”

 David became more and more powerful, because the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies was with him.

It is time to bring back the Ark of our God, for we neglected it during the reign of Saul.”4The whole assembly agreed to this, for the people could see it was the right thing to do. 

So David decided not to move the Ark of the Lord into the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to remember to come to you in all decisions and follow your will only,

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
