1 Chronicles 15:13 For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
I sought the Lord to bring a sense of God moving in our lives. He is active and real and initiates all blessings, glory and honor. Why is it that we do not see that? What went wrong? What are we to do about it?
Consider that God is at work around you at all times. He invites us to be part of that work, He has set it before us. This from 2nd John; For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
God is on the move and if we do not respond to that which He has set before us, He moves on. When we do not walk in that moment, a breach is created. Not that God caused the breach, but that by not responding we created the breach.
How do we fix it?
1 Chronicles 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
We sanctify ourselves, separate ourselves from anything and everything that keeps us from following after the covenant of Jesus Christ.
For some that sounds drastic. That is because we desire to hold on to worldly cares and concerns more than to follow God. This chapter of 1st Chronicles ends with David dancing and playing before the Ark in the streets. The very last line indicates his wife Michal despised him in her heart. His wife, flesh of his flesh, hated him for this.
The flesh hates it when you do the right thing.
Good word – truly we sense that war within us, flesh vs. Spirit. They are contrary one to the other.
