—1 Chronicles 15:4-13
by: Angie Osborn.
David had been humbled by his first attempt to move the ark. This time, he understood the importance of following God’s directives. He read Scripture, prayed, repented, and tried again; this time following God’s plan. Often, we get caught up in ministry opportunities but get focused on the emotion, or the program, or the numbers, or…. Like David, it is important for us to be sure that God is at the center and it is His direction we are following. It is important to be excited about the ministry we are doing; it is important to have a good program and plan; but it is most important that we focus on the presence of God and doing things the way He would have us do them.
