“And
the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for
his error; and there he died by the ark of God.” 2 Sam 6:7
Sadly,
the death of Uzzah and his brother Ahio, was not due to God’s anger directly against
them, but more so theirs, and David’s lack of attention to spiritual matters.
Several come into play, one the ark was to only be carried by Levites (Exo
25:14-15) and second, the ark was to rest upon two staves (Exo 37:1-4) not a
new cart (2 Sam 6:3). Carelessly they put themselves where they should not have
been, in proximity to the ark. But, even more so it was King David’s direction
in both matters concerning who carried it and how that ultimately cost all
involved. Don’t be careless in your
decisions concerning yourself and others, you may not take seriously God’s word
but He does. It may not be at a cost of life, but it can still be at a cost. Here
are a few things God wants us to remember… least forgetting could cost us
dearly: Salvation, Sabbath, Commandments, Humility, Less Fortunate,
Thankfulness, our Spiritual gifts, and learning from other’s mistakes. A carless attitude and attention to God’s
will can bring about adverse results. Don’t just make good decisions, make
Godly decisions and they’ll be good for you.
You
know you’re on the right track when your decisions don’t cause you to look
back!
HSAY…
