1 Chronicles 15:13 Because you did not carry it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule.” 14 So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. 15 And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord."
In yesterday's reading, A man (Uzzah) died doing what he thought was right by steadying the ark when the oxen stumbled...but what he did angered God, and because David did not understand God's purposes David feared and was angry at God. Today's reading shows David and the people calmly and steadfastly obeying God according to the word of the Lord and not in their own strength and understanding. They have, since Uzzah died, sought the Lord and His purposes and ways, and acted according to them. This changes everything as they are literally walking in His ways now...and no harm comes to them and in fact, God helps them, verse 26.
