Introduction

1 Chronicles 15:25—16:7: David and leaders of Israel retrieve the Covenant Box from the house of Obed Edom where a celebration takes place. All the Israelites accompany the Covenant Box up to Jerusalem with shouts of joy and music.

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Chronicles 15:28

All the Israelites accompanied the Covenant Box up to Jerusalem with shouts of joy, the sound of trumpets, horns, and cymbals, and the music of harps.

Reflect

Based on today’s reading and the preparation details recorded in yesterday’s reading (1 Chronicles 15:1–24), how do you envision the procession as the Covenant Box was brought into Jerusalem? What did David do after offering sacrifices and blessing the people? What types of celebrations take place within your community of faith?

Pray

I sing praises to you, O Lord God, and glorify your holy name. Guide me each day by your Word. May you be praised forever and ever! Amen.
