—2 Samuel 6:6-11
by: Jasmine Lynch.
This passage describes a tragic situation. Some would say Uzzah died because he disregarded the Ark’s holiness. I see it differently. I think Uzzah regarded the holiness of the ark and did not want it to fall. However, his “good intentions” caused Uzzah to disregard the Lord’s clear instructions with regards to transportation of the Ark, which was irreverent. What are some of the lessons we can learn? 1) God is able to take care of His own. 2) Good intentions will not save us. Lots of people think they can be saved by doing the right things. What a lesson!
