# 1 Chronicles 15 #soap ## Title: Life Is About Learning Lessons ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 15:2) Then David said, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to serve before him perpetually.” (NET) ## Observation: David learned his lesson from before. Earlier, he took the good ideas of others and something tragic happened. It’s common for us to see what works for others and try it for ourselves to get the desired outcome. However, sometimes what worked for them doesn’t work for us. This doesn’t mean we give up on something good. It means we learn and try again. In this situation, David needed to turn to God’s Word and discover how God wanted His Ark carried. It’s a good idea to always turn back to God after experiencing failure. See how His Word says we should live and pursue things. Then take the next step. ## Application: What lesson is waiting for you to learn so you can try again? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your endless patience.
