“And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.”
1 Chronicles 13:14 KJV
The Ark of the Covenant was in storage in the house of Obed-Edom for three months. God blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything around him. The Ark represented the Presence of God. David was jealous for the Presence of God and from Abinadab’s house in Kiriath Jearim, he wanted to bring the Presence of God to Jerusalem . But when Uzzah (Abinadab’s son), grabbed the Ark to keep it from falling off, he died on the spot. David was afraid and had the Ark taken to Obed-Edom’s house instead. Today in the new covenant, we can go right into the Presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s Blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. What an awesome God we serve! Hallelujah!
