2 Samuel 6:6 (NKJV) 6 And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.
He sat in the corner looking sad and forgotten, the house smelled of clorox and there was the distinct presence of anger. The mother apologized for the odor and invited us in, I asked, "How is Billy," "Not doing so good," his mother replied, he just decided to use butter to slide down the stairs, he heated it up and poured a whole pound down from the top landing, Billy input, "My hands did it."
Uzzah paid a terrible price for disobedience, he was trying to do the right thing the wrong way. The ark was to be carried by those who are clean, just as the Word today is to be lived by those who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. The believer is redeemed the moment he denies his entire life and confesses Jesus is Lord. Many today walk as Uzzah did, secure in the fact that being around those who are redeemed is all that is needed. Friend we have to answer to a Holy God anything short of Holiness will not do!
Heavenly Father we know, to live is Christ to die is gain, help us to live like there will be no tomorrow. May we look to You in the things that distract and walk Right, before The Holy God. Amen
