1 Chronicles 16-18; John 7:28-53

My Dad used to say:

“When all else fails, FOLLOW the DIRECTIONS.”

King David had been burned by carelessness.

He forgot God’s directions for transporting the Ark of God.

So he did his homework, and had the Levites carry the Ark to Jerusalem on their shoulders as Moses had commanded.

…And ALL HEAVEN broke loose.

Jerusalem rocked with the praises of God. Trumpets, Lyres, Harps, and Cymbals accompanied multitudes of singers. David himself wrote a powerful new song to celebrate God’s greatness. God came home to His city – and the city’s joy was uncontainable.

Then God spoke. He blessed David with astounding promises. He promised him victory over all his enemies. He declared that David’s throne would be established forever. He prophesied the construction of a new temple in Jerusalem, and He promised never to take His love away from David’s family. David was speechless. WOW!

So what was the key to this amazing moment?

When all else failed, David followed the directions.

David carefully followed God’s instructions with all his heart.

And God lavished uncontainable blessings on His people.

Are you ready for God to unleash His blessings on YOUR family?

Me, too!

So – when all else fails…

See you tomorrow!
