Meditate on verse 2.

And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah

to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name,

 the very name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.

The ark of God was kept at Abinadab’s house for 20 years (1 Samuel 7:1- 2). It was the visual reminder of God’s presence, and King David wanted it back inside the tabernacle in the City of David. His first attempt at returning the ark went terribly wrong because David did it the wrong way. The ark was not to be put on a cart; it was to be carried with poles on the shoulders of Levites and not touched by human hands. David was significantly rattled when God killed Uzzah just for touching the ark, trying to steady it when the cart became unstable. In fear of God, David left the ark at the home of Obed-edom until he made proper preparations for moving it (1 Chronicles 15:13-15).

God still has specific requirements for being in His presence. Those who do not know God and obey the Gospel of the LORD Jesus will “pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the LORD” (2 essalonians 1:8-9). But those who come into the presence of God through Jesus Christ receive eternal life and eternal blessings.

Pray 2 Samuel 6:12 over your house/family as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, bless my house and all that belongs

 to my family on account of Your presence.

Because You are Immanuel, God with us, Jesus~”
