And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us; and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul.” Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

BE STRONG IN YOUR FAITH AND AND BE GRATEFUL, PRAISE THE LORD WHILE IN YOUR TRIALS. KNOW THAT GOD IS LIFE. BE APART OF HIS GOODNESS, GRACE AND GLORY!
