In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Davis delves into the biblical story of King David and the Ark of the Covenant, highlighting the often-overlooked hero, Obed-Edom. After a tragedy strikes while David is trying to bring God's presence back to His people, the Ark is left in the home of a man named Obed-Edom for three months. What happens next is a testament to the power of knowledge and instruction.
Pastor Davis shows us how David, despite his good intentions, was "unlearned," leading to suffering and failure. Obed-Edom, on the other hand, was not a born Israelite but a convert who had studied God's ways. He became David's teacher, revealing that the Ark needed to be carried by the Levites, who were consecrated for service. This message is a call to action for parents and leaders, challenging them to not only have a sincere heart but to actively seek the knowledge and wisdom necessary to lead their families to victory.
-- Our good intentions aren't enough; we need knowledge and instruction to truly win.
-- The blessing of God in our lives can be so great that our neighbors take notice and testify on our behalf.
-- Parents never "graduate" from being parents; our role and influence continue throughout our children's lives.
-- We must not slumber in a lack of knowledge, but instead, be bold, brave, and strong in seeking God's wisdom to guide our families.
