🌙 1 Chronicles 16

1 Chronicles 16 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, ““Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”” 1 Chronicles 16 opens with these words: “They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace…” The line to keep is 1 Chronicles 16:1: “They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.” Carry the word “brought” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 1 Chronicles 16:1: “They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 1 Chronicles 16? Then try this: Read “They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
