“According to His Ordinance”

“According to His Ordinance”

Blessing folk!

2 Sa 6:12-15

Now it was told King David, saying, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the LORD had gone six paces,
he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might,
and David was wearing a linen ephod.

So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD
with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

The Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom on account of the presence of the Ark.
The Presence of God.
David was told.

David sought to retrieve the Ark again.
What had changed?

We go to 1 Chronicles to see.
They read the instructions.

1 Ch 15:11-15

Then David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites,
for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab,

and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites;
consecrate yourselves both you and your relatives, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.

“Because you did not carry it at the first, the LORD our God made an outburst on us,
for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”

So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves
to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

The sons of the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon,
as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.


They did not seek the ordinance of the Lord the first time.
They did this time.

They transported the Ark as per the instruction of the Lord.

  • Levites only
  • Poles, not a cart

Seek the Lord.
Seek HIs ordinance.
Seek His way.
