He Can Not Lie

2 Samuel 6:7 "And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the Ark of God".

In our story today God had given specific instructions on the constructing of the Ark of the covenant , He also commanded them to transport it by using poles. He warned them that anyone touching the Ark would die.

As we see when David moved the Ark to Jerusalem, the people ignored God's directions, and place it on a cart for transporting.Yes on the cart was an easier way to carry the Ark, and what the people did seemed harmless and right. But it went against the commandment of God. Many today go against God's commandment in a search for a way of making things easier. The word of God tells us that Jesus is the way, there is no other way to eternal life with the Father except through His darling Son. Yet many ignore God's word and do things their own way, saying God understands to justify their actions. Many think they can pick and choose who to love, how to live, how to worship, how to serve, and who to forgive. As our story tells us that when Uzzah in an effort to prevent the Ark from falling, reached over to secure it ,he fell dead. See God cannot lie, so when he said anyone who touches it will die, he meant that. When He said the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God, He means that.

Every details of God's instruction to us is important. Salvation was so important to God that He didn't leave any part of it up to us. Here we see that God was teaching His people to take every aspect of His word seriously. We too must take God's word seriously, He can't lie and every part of His word must and will come to past. He even gave us a fair warning as he said" There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but in the end is the way of death". Let us pay careful attention to every point of His word and be obedient to His word that we might enjoy everlasting life with our Father which art in Heaven.....
