1 Chronicles 16
-The Ark is brought into the tent that David had prepared. They
offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD, then blessed the
people of Israel in the Name of LORD. He gave everyone a loaf of bread and a
portion of meat and a raisin cake as he appointed some of the Levites as
ministers before the Ark of the LORD in order to celebrate, thank, and praise
God for what He had accomplished. This sets off an extensive psalm of
thanksgiving unto the Heavenly Father, which included the following. His Name
is to be called on. He is to be made known unto all the peoples of the earth.
He is to be worshipped through song. His people are to speak of His wonders. They
are to glory in His holy Name. He makes our hearts glad. His children are to
seek the LORD and His strength. His face should be continually sought. His
wonderful deeds are to be remembered. His judgments and marvels are in all the
earth. His everlasting covenant of land and inheritance (promise), which He
made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, should always be remembered. “He is great
and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. For all the
gods of the peoples are idols (empty, vain), but the LORD made the heavens.”
Ascribe to the LORD all that is due Him. Bring Him an offering and come before
Him. Worship Him is holy array. Tremble before Him all the earth. “The LORD
reigns.” “O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good.” Blessed be the God of
Israel from everlasting to everlasting (1 Chronicles 16:8-36). -The work was
then assigned to great men of responsibility and worship. After they were
confirmed, all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to
bless his household (1 Chronicles 16:37-43).
-*Application* When was the last time we truly set aside
time to bask in the presence of the Almighty and thank Him for how awesome and
majestic He is? Extend gratitude to the Sovereign of the Universe and
appreciate everything about Him as David and the people of Israel did at this
time. It will do wonders for our spirit and tune us in to His glorious radiance.
This will lead to a returning to normal life at some point, but we will be affected
to bless those around us in our own house. Blessings in the Name of the LORD!
