October 23, 2023: The Tabernacle of David

"In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old," (Amos 9:11, ESV)

What was unique about David Tabernacle? The Tabernacle was the first thing David addressed as Israel's new king. He brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem and set it in the tent of meeting. He then commanded Asaph, a worship leader, to worship before the Lord night and day, every day. (1 Chronicles 16:37)

David had 288 singers whose only job was to worship before the Lord. Twenty-four teams of twelve served the Lord every day in this manner. This worship and prayer meeting was the very core of David's government and the nation of Israel.

Later, the number of musicians increased to four thousand, and they played instruments David had designed! David's Kingdom underwrote all the expense of this! Think of what this must have done to the heart of God—enthroned on the praises of Israel! Think of the sound of thousands of instruments, all giving glory to God.

The face of worship is being changed in this hour as more and more people receive the revelation of God's desire for the Tabernacle of David to be once more raised up as in days of old. Praise binds the enemy. Praise silences the enemy. Praise attracts the presence of God. May the Tabernacle of David first be raised up in your own heart. Selah!
