David set a tent for worship since the ark was now in Jerusalem. There were now two tents for the same purpose. The original one was in Gibeon and the new one was to be in Jerusalem. Evidently the Lord was not offended by the new tent and the joining of the tents would not happen until Solomon built the temple. There would a sacrifice of peace by the priests and David would give each Israelite a loaf of bread and dried fruit - dates and raisins. Clearly at this time, David would not repeat the offenses of Saul when it came to the Lord. He would offer sacrifices and consult with the Lord so that the people would know who was the real King of Israel. Asaph was given the lead role of the priests and Zechariah was to be second. They would be the chief musicians that would lead the praise and worship of the people.
Decent day yesterday and hopefully more of the same today. I am surprised that the Christian radio station in NY/NJ had let their morning anchor people go - I guess it's a sign of the economy. I wish them well and they carried the name of Christ with honor.
Praise for today: Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. May the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion. Ps 134
