The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months. . . .— 2 Samuel 6:11
Thought Of The Day...
Have you seen some of the Publishers Clearing House commercials on TV or the internet? A happy group of people jumps out of a van with flowers, balloons, smiles on their faces, and a huge fake check. They approach the home of an unsuspecting person with the news of winning large amounts of money for the rest of their lives. And the person responds with shock, surprise, and excitement.
Obed-Edom had no idea that the ark of the covenant would show up at his door. And the circumstances were sad and shocking. Uzzah had tried to make sure the ark would not fall from the cart when the oxen stumbled. But that violated the holiness of the ark, and Uzzah paid with his life.
This puzzling event brought fear into the hearts of David and all the people. David halted the procession and took the ark to the house of Obed-Edom, where it stayed for three months. It must have taken Obed-Edom by surprise to have the ark of the presence of the Lord at his house.
As Obed-Edom and his family saw the blessings of God pour out on them like manna from heaven, his heart must have swelled with gratitude for the opportunity to be God’s servant. It was all by undeserved grace that he and his household were blessed.
Prayer...
Heavenly Father, As I reflect on your Word in 2 Samuel 6:11 tells us of how you blessed Obed-Edom and his household because of the ark of your presence. Lord, we too long for your presence in our lives. We pray that you will bless us just as you blessed Obed-Edom.
Lord, we ask that you would dwell in our homes, in our lives, and in our hearts. May your presence bring joy, peace, and prosperity. Just as Obed-Edom was blessed, may we also experience your abundant blessings.
Forgive us of our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Help us to live in obedience to your Word and to walk in your ways.
Thank you, Lord, for your constant love and faithfulness towards us. May we always seek your presence and follow your commands. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
