15:13, 14 – I thought that it was interesting that David learned his lesson about how careful to be with the ark of the covenant. The Levites were not assigned to carry it the first time (13:5-8), God was angered, and someone wound up dying.
The Levites were called, anointed, and trained to handle tabernacle
related situations. They should be the ones to handle the Ark. We see it again
in 15:22 “Chenaniah … gave instruction in singing because he was skillful”.
Hey, anyone can sing (and should), but that doesn’t mean they should sing on
stage, or lead a congregation, or/and especially teach others how to sing.
Maybe what we learn from this is that there should always be a
reverence when handling our covenant with God. No matter how personal we get
with God, He is still Sovereign and Holy. Our covenant and relationship with
Him should always encompass the highest quality and standards.
Romans 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies
of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God,
which is your spiritual service of worship.
