For David said, “The Lord God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever”; and also to the Levites, “They shall no longer carry the tabernacle, or any of the articles for its service.” vv.25-26
Read chapter 23
The job of the Levites carrying the ark is no longer needed. Since the Israelites have found their resting pace in and around Jerusalem as the capitol, the ark would remain there forever (at least until captivity). So now what are they to do? Well they don't just get lost in society trying to find another way of life, rather they are assigned duties in the temple of the Lord (v.26). We also may find our identity or sense of worth in our job or ministry, but the second that changes, whether you're not longer needed or a move caused that to no longer be in that position, we tend to get and feel lost and useless. Take heart, God still wants to use you and you will find purpose in a new place or job. Have you experience that before? Are you feeling lost or useless now? Open your eyes and hands to what new the Lord has for you.
