Day 117: Reverence, WORSHIP, and Divine Presence in 1 Chronicles 13-15 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

For Day 117 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 1 Chronicles 13-15. David seeks to bring the Ark to Jerusalem, but Uzzah’s death reveals God’s holiness. After correction, David successfully moves the Ark with joy and worship, emphasizing proper reverence for God’s presence in Israel’s life.

Questions:
1. Uzzah’s death in chapter 13 for touching the Ark underscores God’s holiness—how does this event deepen our theological understanding of the awe required in approaching God, and how might it point to Christ as our mediator?

2. David’s renewed effort in chapter 15, marked by Levitical order and worship, brings the Ark home—how does this success challenge us to reflect on the theological connection between obedience in worship and experiencing God’s covenant presence?

3. Written for exiles, these chapters highlight the Ark’s centrality—how might this focus invite us to wrestle with the theological truth that God’s presence among His people, once tied to the Ark, now dwells in the church through the Spirit?
