Book: 2 Samuel

David’s story in 2 Samuel 6 reminds us that God’s presence once dwelled in the Ark but now lives within us, calling us to prepare our hearts and lives to meet Him. We must learn to pause intentionally in His presence, like David’s reverent sacrifices every six steps, and not rush through spiritual moments. Rather than just reflecting our environment, we’re called to change it—bringing God’s presence, joy, and hope—by praising Him and practicing His presence daily.

David lived in dependence on God, seeking Him not just for answers, but for direction—he didn’t ask how to win battles, he asked if he should fight at all. True faith is more than a question or a sticker; it’s a lifestyle that responds with obedience, sacrifice, and action. Like the rich young ruler, we may ask the right questions, but unless we’re willing to follow the One who leads, we’ll miss the deeper transformation God desires.
