“And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God.”
Devotional
In times of zeal for God, we are reminded to seek His guidance before our own plans and impulses. Let us posture our hearts in prayer, asking for the humility to follow God’s instructions even when we believe we know best. When we feel compelled to “help” God along, may we instead trust His holiness and the way He has ordained to be approached in reverence and obedience.
May the sober reminder of Uzzah lead us to a deeper devotion: to revere God’s holiness, to align our actions with His word, and to worship Him in truth with hearts surrendered to His authority.
