Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15.

I am taking today's post from this book, The Pleasure of His Company.

I wrote this book several years ago.

I have zero doubt it could change your life if you, read a chapter every day for 30 days.

This particular chapter is called the spoiler.

This is not the whole chapter, entire chapter, it's part of it, the spoiler.

One of the greatest offers in the history of the world was made centuries ago to a man named

Obed Edom. At the instruction of David, King of Israel, he was asked if his living room could

be the Holy of Holies for a while. After one of his men was killed trying to transport the ark to Jerusalem,

that is, after one of David's men was killed trying to transport the ark to Jerusalem,

we are told, David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him.

He took it aside to the house of Obed Edom, the Gittite. Thus the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him, he took it aside to the house of Obed Edom, the Gittite.

Thus, the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed Edom, the Gittite, for three months.

The Lord blessed Obed Edom in all his household.

Can you imagine being asked in Obed Edom and all his household. Can you imagine being asked in Obed Edom's Day, by the way, when the very presence and glory of God

hovered over the ark?

Would you mind if we placed the Ark of the Covenant in your home for a few months?

If you were a lover of God, this honor would have been unimaginable.

How would you respond? I don't know, King. I'll have to think about whether or not I want the

Shakina glory of God hovering in my living room for the next three months.

I don't think I'd have to pray about it.

Obviously, Obed Edom didn't.
