2 Samuel 6:10-12a Man’s Disobedience

 ”So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household. Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.“ ‭‭II Samuel‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭12‬a NKJV‬‬

a. David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom: David did this in fulfillment of God’s word. Obed-Edom was a Levite of the family of Korah and Kohath 

(1 Chronicles 26:4). This was the family within the tribe of Levi that God commanded to carry and take care of the ark (Numbers 4:15).

b. And the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his household: When God’s word was obeyed, and His holiness was respected, blessing followed. God wanted the ark to be a blessing for Israel, not a curse. We might say that the curse didn’t come from God’s heart but from man’s disobedience. (Guzik)

Man’s Disobedience 

The curse of sin in the world comes from man’s disobedience. Look around you and you will see it. Lawlessness and disobedience to the word of God is on the rise and as the Bible says;

”Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!“

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬K

The only thing we can do is to stay on the straight and narrow path and pray for a revival.

Will you join me in prayer?
