25 So it was David , with the elders of Israel and the captains over thousands , who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-edom with joy . 26 Because God was helping the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord , they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams . 27 Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark , and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers . David also wore an ephod of linen . 28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting , and with sound of the horn , with trumpets , with loud-sounding cymbals , with harps and lyres . 29 It happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the city of David , that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and celebrating ; and she despised him in her heart .

(Read 1 Chronicles 15:25-29)
It is good to notice the assistance of Divine Providence, even in things which fall within the compass of our natural powers; if God did not help us, we could not stir a step. If we do our religious duties in any degree aright, we must own it was God that helped us; had we been left to ourselves, we should have been guilty of some fatal errors. And every thing in which we engage, must be done in dependence on the mercy of God through the sacrifice of the Redeemer.
