2 Samuel 6:1-23

Today’s text communicates a sense of reverent awe as we enter into the presence of our holy God.  As the ark of the covenant embodied Yahweh’s presence in the midst of his people, he still calls us in reverent fear to lay our presumption aside and submit to his rule and presence in our lives.  Yet in addition to reverent fear and awe, he also graciously bends to bless us as his covenant children and invites us into humble, joyful worship.
