1 Chronicles 16:1-6 Click on link to read passage. You may select your own version of the Bible after the link opens.
I see no evidence that the celebrations were over and done with once the ark of the covenant was put into the tent that had been prepared for it.
The celebration and praise continued. More sacrifices were made to God. Some were burnt offerings and some were fellowship offerings. The fellowship offerings were eaten by the people in an act of honor of God. Gifts of bread, date and raisin cakes were also given to each man and woman.
The musical instruments were played regularly before the ark of the Lord. Again, David assigned the responsibilities to play the various instruments before the ark of the covenant.
We should be vigilant in our worship of God. Our Bibles shouldn’t have to be dusted off each time we read them. Our voices should always be ready to sing God’s praise. Our hearts should find reasons to praise God throughout the day.
Lord, lift our eyes to you and fill our hearts with joyful praise as we consider all your blessings and your mighty deeds.
