Davids Vow Of Spiritual Violence - Andrew Harman - March 11, 2018

Psalm 132: David’s Vow of Spiritual Violence I. REMEMBERING DAVID’S VOW A. As a young man, David vowed to dedicate his life to finding a “dwelling place” for God (Ps. 132). David’s vow included establishing a building for the ark to be placed in and for God’s power and presence to be manifested. The ark was associated with the release of God’s power and presence. 1Lord, remember David and all his afflictions; 2How he…vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house, or go up to the comfort of my bed; 4I will not give sleep to my eyes…5Until I find a place [a temple to house the ark] for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 6Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah [Bethlehem]; we found it in the fields [Kirjath Jearim]… 8Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place… (Ps. 132:1–8)
