I Chronicles 15:1 – 17:27

October 1, 2010

The Ark of the Lord is brought to Jerusalem, but this time David inquired of the LORD how to do it and all went well. I Chronicles 16 - records David's song of thanks.

David's song of thanks is our song of praise:

Give thanks to the LORD, pray to Him.

Sing to Him, tell what He has done.

Be happy you are His.

Depend on God, go to Him for help.

Remember what He has done.

Remember you are His.

He will keep His promises.

Sing to the LORD, tell what He has done.

The LORD is great and worthy of praise.

The LORD made the heaven and earth.

He has glory, majesty, and power.

Praise the LORD, all people.

Praise the LORD for His glory and power.

Praise the glory of God's name.

Worship the LORD because He is holy.

Give to Him.

Tremble before the holy God.

Even the skies, the earth, the sea, the fields, the trees, all will sing for joy before the LORD.

They will sing because He is the judge.  

Thank the LORD because He is good.

His love continues forever.

Say to Him: SAVE US.

Restore us LORD, bring us back.

We will thank you.

We will praise you.

Praise the LORD who was and is and always will be.

Amen. Praise the LORD.  

LORD, today we claim I Chronicles 17:9 - "I will plant them so they can live in their own homes. They will not be bothered anymore. Wicked people will no longer hurt them as they have done in the past." It goes on to say, "...I will defeat all your enemies."

LORD, we claim those verses. Free us from "the storm." LORD, we ask that you would put a hedge of protection around us. Thank you for the song of praise and the promise for protection I unexpectedly found in the middle of I Chronicles.

David prays to God and says, "Who am I... why did you choose to work through me and to bless my family?... LORD keep you promises... DO WHAT YOU HAVE SAID... LORD, you are God and you have promised these good things to us... You have chosen to bless us... Let it continue before you always... LORD bless us." This is our prayer as well.  

"I will plant them so they can live in their own homes. They will not be bothered anymore. Wicked people will no longer hurt them as they have done in the past." We will continue to STAND on the promises of the LORD.
