And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

In 1Chronicles 15, we read, Then David said, no one may carry the ark of God, but the Levites for the Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before him forever.

David makes this declaration, but it really wasn't David's choice. David found out the hard way (by trying to transport the ark on a cart and costing Uzzah his life) he found out the hard way that God had already commanded how it was supposed to be done. 

David here declares what God had already said. 

You do it my way, God says, or don't do it at all.
