David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.

Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 10The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”

The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”

And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

You are praise worthy and all powerful, worth of all praise. Help me to follow you without doubt so I can carry your way which is beyond my understanding. Keep me in constant desire to seek you first in all thoughts that lead to actions in order do do your will above my desire. Give me strength over my sin nature so I may navigate this day in your delight.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
