Thoughts on Today’s Verse

By Elizabeth Haworth

The Lord is glorified in the praise and worship of His people and what joy and rejoicing there was on this momentous day of great gladness in the city of the God.. when the Ark of the Covenant was finally brought back into the midst of His people, after decades of absence.

During Israel’s long spiritual decline, the commands of God had been set aside and for the last twenty years of king Saul’s reign, the ark had been all but forgotten – and remained tucked away, and quietly waiting for its eventual restoration – in the little home of Abinadab.

But finally the Ark was returned amidst great rejoicing, and we read that king David danced with joy before the Lord and he assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD: Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!

We read in Jeremiah that the day is coming when the ark of the covenant of the LORD will no longer come to mind. It will not be missed, nor will they remember it any more, for a greater than David will return to the city of God and dance before the Lord – a greater than Solomon will be forever seated on king David’s throne and there will be great joy and much rejoicing – for the earth will be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! And all the people said : AMEN
