1 Chronicles 13
In 2Samuel 6.1-11; 1Chronicles 13.3-14, David and his men went to get the ark of God. They set the ark on a new and brought it from the house of Abinadab. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart. David and Israel were celebrating before the Lord with songs, and harps lyres, tambouriness sistruths and cymbals. When they reached the threshing floor of Nacan, the oxen had stumbled and Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark to prevent it from falling on the ground. The Lord’s anger burnt against Uzzah because of the irreverent act and he killed Uzzah. David was angry with God because he killed Uzzah.

David's House and Family
1Chronicles 14.1-7; 2 Samuel 5.11-16; 1 Chronicles 3.5-8, there is a description of the children born to David.
David defeats the Philstines 1Chronicles 14.8-17; 2 Samuel 5.17-25. When the Philistines heard that David was king over all Israel, they launched an attack against Israel. David inquired of the Lord whether he should attack the Philistines and whether God would hand them over to him. God told him to go and attack. The victory was David. And he defeated them. We remembered Saul and before his tragic death, he inquired of the Lord but there was no answer, that was when he had contacted the witch of Endor and things went bad for Saul and he died.

1 Chronicles 15
1 Chronicles 15.25-16.3; 2 Samuel 6.12-19 David became afraid of the Lord that day. Although Uzzah had good intention to prevent the ark from falling on the ground, there was specific instructions in the handling of the Ark (Exodus 15.15; Numbers 4.5-61.5; 1Chronicles 15.13-15). God had shocked everyone there to remind them that He is a holy God and his commandments must be obeyed. We need to remember that He is a God of love but the one attribute that separate our God from other gods is His Holiness. And excellent book on this subject is the Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul.
In 2Samuel 6.13-19; 1Chronicles 15.25-16.3, David was afraid of God, that he was unwilling to take tha ark back to Jerusalem. It stayed at the house of Obed-Edom. Three months later David and the people went doen to take the ark back to Jerusalem. He had sacrificed a bull and fattened calf immediately. He danced before the Lord
with all his heart.

Today's Reading John 7.1-29

John 7 with Commentaries, verse by verse
John 7.1-29
Jesus brothers did not understand much less knew him. They were embarassed by him and mocked him, telling him to go to Judea to perform some miracles for his disciple. It was after the resurrection that they came to a saving knowledge of him and were leaders in the church. Two epistles were written by them. One by James and the other by Jude. Are we embarassed by Jesus. Do we have acquainatnce with Him but we really don't know Him?
Jesus was under opposition by the Jewish leaders and they wanted to kill him. The people admired Jesus but were afraid to speak openly of Him lest they would be excommunicated from the synagogues. The Jewish leaders wondered how Jesus could have taught with such authority and wisdom. They had wanted to kill Him because He healed on the Sabbath. he pointed out to them that they themselves do 'work' in performing circumcision. Sometimes the eight day after a male child is born would fall on the Sabbath and they would have to circumcise the child.
How do you know that Jesus teaching is from God. If we do God's will we will find out that Jesus is from God. They asked if Jesus is the Christ. They were using the Old Testament to see if He was the Messiah. They thought they knew Him but they did not KNOW Him or the Father. He was from Nazareth, this was one of the Prophecies spoken from the Prophets but they did not get it. Do you know of Jesus, the things that He did but do you KNOW Him in a personal relationship?
