I usually sing a related Psalm at the end of the message.

Saturday night while I was sleeping, it came to me to use the "Recall how David swore" tune for Psalm 132. That Lord's Day morning was the fall back from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time, so I naturally woke one hour earlier at 5 am.

That is not counting the time from Eben-ezer until Saul is anointed King, or the time from when David moved to Jerusalem until when he fetched the ark. It was probably more than 80 years.)</div> <bR> <div> Meanwhile, where was the habitation of God among men? He was wont to shine forth from between the cherubim, but where was the ark? It was like a hidden thing, a stranger in its own land. Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah. Rumors came that it was somewhere in the land of Ephraim, in a temporary lodging; rather an object of dread than of delight. Is it not wonderful that so renowned a symbol of the presence of the Lord should be lingering in neglect—a neglect so great that it was remarkable that we should have heard of its whereabouts at all? ...</div> <div> David instituted a search for the ark. It had to be hunted for high and low; and at last at Kirjathjearim, the forest city, he came upon it. How often do souls find Christ and his salvation in out of the way places! What matters where we meet with him so long as we do behold him, and find life in him? That is a blessed Eureka which is embedded in our text—"we found it." The matter began with hearing, led on to a search, and concluded in a joyful find. "We found it in the fields of the wood." Alas that there should be no room for the Lord in the palaces of kings, so that he must needs take to the woods. If Christ be in a wood he will yet be found of those who seek for him. He is as near in the rustic home, embowered among the trees, as in the open streets of the city; yea, he will answer prayer offered from the heart of the black forest where the lone traveler seems out of all hope of hearing. The text presents us with an instance of one whose heart was set upon finding the place where God would meet with him; this made him quick of hearing, and so the cheering news soon reached him. The tidings renewed his ardor, and led him to stick at no difficulties in his search; and so it came to pass that, where he could hardly have expected it, he lighted upon the treasure which he so much prized. - C. H. Spurgeon</div> <bR> <div> As Spurgeon says, it is amazing that the ark of the covenant had been lost after about 80 years. And no one cared enough to find it. I think David read the Word daily, so he knew that the ark was the testimony of God and was essential to Israel being the testimony of God. He was so appalled that the ark had been lost, that he made the solemn vow in verses 3-4. Finding the ark was not something under his control, but he committed it to the Lord, and the Lord led him to find it through the word in Bethlehem. </div> <div> Jesus, the incarnated Word, was born in Bethlehem and the shepherds found Him in a manger of wood. As it was here, the shepherds reaction was to worship God.
