—1 Chronicles 13:5-8, 13-14
by: Angie Osborn.
David had the best intentions. He was excited to bring the ark back into Jerusalem. Unfortunately, he did not pay attention to the details. God had set out some specific instructions about how the ark was to be moved and who could move it. David ignored God’s directions and the result was the death of Uzza—and a lot of confusion and fear on David’s part. As we seek to do the Lord’s work, it is important that we face it with joy and celebration. But it is also crucial that follow God’s lead and His plan. Through understanding of the Scriptures and prayer, we can do His work His way!
