Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike walks through 2 Samuel 6 and the sobering
tragedy of Uzzah, who died after reaching out to steady the ark of God. In
an effort to make things easier, God’s instructions had been disregarded,
with devastating consequences. David was reminded that God is holy and must
be approached on His terms, and after seeing how the Lord blessed
Obed-Edom’s household, he brought the ark to Jerusalem the right way. This
is a powerful reminder that God is both holy and just, and that when we
treat Him casually, we risk provoking His anger. Justice is what we
deserve; mercy is a gift—not the other way around!
