He rescued us from our Lo DeBar, a place of no pasture, and set us at your table where we eat continually as a child of the King. Thank you, Father, for your faithfulness to your covenant. Thank you for adopting us into your family. Amen

Father God, what a glorious celebration that must have been, bringing the Ark of the Covenant, your very presence, back to the city. Once again, David showed his heart by singing and dancing with abandon out of the pure joy of worshiping you. May we worship you with the same love and abandon, not caring what others might think, because our worship is between us and you alone. And may we never forget how blessed we are that your spirit now resides, not in an Ark in a tabernacle somewhere, but in us. We are never without your presence. Thank you Father, Amen

This is Day 122. Today will be a very short episode. We are reading just one chapter from The Book of Psalms. Chapter 133
Psalm 133A Song of Ascents. By David.
See how good and how pleasant it isfor brothers to live together in unity!It is like the precious oil on the head,that ran down on the beard,even Aaron’s beard,that came down on the edge of his robes,like the dew of Hermon,that comes down on the hills of Zion;for there The LORD gives the blessing,even life forever more.
-----
Father God, we long for this unity. You placed the desire within us not only for unity with each other, but for unity with you. There is an anointing on unified relationships... a full covering from head to foot. And in that unity, we find your blessing. Help us to reject anything that might come between us, Father. In you there is life more abundant and everlasting. Thank you, Father, for making it accessible to us.  Amen

Day 121: 2 Samuel 5, 1 Chronicles 11-12

Today on Meditating the Word, David is anointed King of all Israel, Jerusalem is made capital of the Kingdom, the Philistines attack and are defeated; we read about David's Mighty Men, his followers in the wilderness and his army at Hebron.
This is Day 121. Today we are reading from the 2nd Book of Samuel chapter 5 and the 1st Book of Chronicles chapters 11 and 12
----Father God, One of the big lessons we learn from David is that of patience. He was anointed when he was still a boy tending his father's sheep. But he patiently waited. He respected your anointing on King Saul, and would not rise against him. Sometimes it's hard to be patient. We want things now, in our own timing. But we recognize, Father, that you have to work through people, and sometimes -- especially when they are disobedient or are slow to obey, it affects others as well. So help us, Father, not only to be patient, but to also respond quickly to you and be obedient so we don't delay someone else's good. Thank you, Father, for showing us patience and mercy.  Amen
