# 1 Chronicles 13 #soap ## Title: Staying Close to God Changes Everything Else ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 13:14) “The ark of God remained in Obed-Edom’s house for three months; the Lord blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that belonged to him.” (NET) ## Observation: Because God’s presence was in Obed’s house, everything else was blessed. This is the same for us. When we are sure to have God at the center of our lives, He blesses everything else. ## Application: Commit to having God at the center of all your life. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being worthy of being pursued.
