David’s desire was to have the Glory of God returned to Knowing David, I am sure when he commissioned a cart to be built for the purpose of conveying the Ark of the Covenant back to it’s rightful place, that he did not ask for just any cart.

Therefore, let us pray, praise, and preach like never before!
The only vehicle God will endorse is you and I!
