Restoring the Glory

In II Samuel 6, King David attempts to bring the Ark of the Covenant—the symbol of God’s presence and glory—back to Jerusalem. It had been neglected, and David’s desire was to restore the centrality of God’s presence in the life of the nation. However, the journey is marked by both failure and triumph. From this story, we learn what it takes to restore God’s glory in our lives and in our worship.
