David replied, “I fasted and wept while the child was alive, for I said, ‘Perhaps the Lord will be gracious to me and let the child live.’ 23But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

In Jesus name I pray,

So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people.

“Is anyone still alive from Saul’s family? If so, I want to show God’s kindness to them.”

Oh, the joys of those who do notfollow the advice of the wicked,or stand around with sinners,or join in with mockers.2But they delight in the law of the Lord,meditating on it day and night.

0Then 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.11David 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.

Because you Levites did not carry the Ark the first time, the anger of the Lord our God burst out against us. We failed to ask God how to move it properly.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to understand your way, a way without compromise. Help me to release my way of thinking so the way you designed me to think will prevail. Help me to follow your way.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing,even life everlasting.

Lord God my Father,

May I rest in your presence truly understanding you are in control. May I trust in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

“We are yours, David!We are on your side, son of Jesse.Peace and prosperity be with you,and success to all who help you,for your God is the one who helps you.”

There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.

Lord God my Father,

May I become great because you are with me. May I only bring glory to you in all you do thru me. May I release the Joy within me so the world see’s you thru me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
