    For 40 years in the wilderness, Moses and

    the Israelites had only one praise event led

    by Miriam after they crossed the Red Sea.(Exodus 15:1-21)

    WHY GOD DID NOT REVEAL WORSHIP TO

    THEM IN THE WILDERNESS?

    ANSWER: Because their hearts were notright towards God.

    God didnt reveal worship to these people in

    the wilderness because they might worship

    DAVID REVEALED SOMETHINGGod

    does not need a blood sacrifice. He want

    praise from your mouth.

    David is actually saying that God want our

    hearts more than our blood sacrifices. Godwant our hearts right with Him.

    A MAN AFTER GODS OWN HEART.

    DAVIDS HEART WAS ALREADY RIGHT

    BEFORE GOD FROM THE VERYBEGINNING.

    David was already singing before hebuild the tabernacle.

    David was already dancing before hebuild the tabernacle.

  • 8/11/2019 The Journey of the Ark

    24/50

    David was already praising and

    worshiping God before he went

    to the house of God.David was already a great private

    worshiper before he went into

    public worship.Praise and worship runs deep in the

    veins of David.

    WHAT GOD SAW IN DAVID?

    I saw a man after My own heart.

    I saw a man killing bear and lion when

    nobody saw him.I saw a man singing praise and worship

    in the wilderness and didnt even think

    that his songs will be publish someday.I saw a man faithfully tending sheep whileall his brothers lined up trying to receive

    the anointing .
