1Ch 15:2,13, Then David said, “NO ONE MAY CARRY THE ARK OF GOD BUT THE LEVITES, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever.” …FOR BECAUSE YOU DID NOT DO IT THE FIRST TIME, THE LORD OUR GOD BROKE OUT AGAINST US, BECAUSE WE DID NOT CONSULT HIM ABOUT THE PROPER ORDER.”
David learned from past failures and did things God’s way! Ignorance of the law is not an excuse; that’s why we have HIS word!
Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I ALSO WILL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN.
1Ch 15:29, And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, THAT MICHAL, SAUL’S DAUGHTER, LOOKED THROUGH A WINDOW AND SAW KING DAVID WHIRLING AND PLAYING MUSIC; AND SHE DESPISED HIM IN HER HEART.
2Sa 6:21, So David said to Michal, “IT WAS BEFORE THE LORD…THEREFORE I WILL PLAY MUSIC BEFORE THE LORD.
David did it for the LORD, not for her! David put aside his kingly robes and put on fine linen, as were all the Levites (ver 27)! This wasn’t about him; IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE LORD!
Rev 4:11, “YOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER; FOR YOU CREATED ALL THINGS, AND BY YOUR WILL THEY EXIST AND WERE CREATED.”
DAVID KNEW GOD AND HE DIDN’T CARE WHAT ANYONE THOUGHT OR SAID! HE WORSHIP HIS CREATOR WITH ALL HIS HEART!
