It's Day 50 and we're in 2 Samuel 6.
Is the Bible an old dusty book? Nope - ". . . the Word of God is living and active. . ." (Hebrews 4:12). Dig into today expecting it to speak to you.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verses 14, 16 - When you're praising God with abandon, oblivious to others' opinions, you're probably going to end up making someone unhappy.
Help:
- Verses 7-8 - This seems like a harsh punishment for the "crime." God had given the Israelites, though, specific instructions on how to move the ark (Numbers 4:5, 10-12, 15). Here in today's passage they were disregarding God's instructions. They were supposed to carry the ark on poles. Only the Levites who descended from Kahoth were to do the carrying. And they were not to touch the ark or they would die. This puts the incident in another light. This wasn't God completely unexpectedly doing something He'd never mentioned before; rather it was Israel deliberately treating casually something that God had given very specific directions about. You'll note that in the second attempt they make to move the ark they carefully fulfill all the instructions.

What's the Bible say about the book you're reading today? "All Scripture is inspired by God. . ." (2 Timothy 3:16). So reading the Bible helps me know how God sees things.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 35 - I needed the reminder today that He won't allow me to lack what I need.
