2Sa 6:3, SO THEY SET THE ARK OF GOD ON A NEW CART, and brought it OUT OF THE HOUSE OF ABINADAB, which was on the hill; and UZZAH AND AHIO, THE SONS OF ABINADAB, DROVE THE NEW CART.
The Ark was taken to Abinadab’s home and, remained there 20 years! (1Sa 7:1-2).
2Sa 6:6-7, …UZZAH PUT OUT HIS HAND TO THE ARK OF GOD AND TOOK HOLD OF IT, FOR THE OXEN STUMBLED. Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, AND GOD STRUCK HIM THERE FOR HIS ERROR; AND HE DIED THERE BY THE ARK OF GOD.
Num 4:15, …but they SHALL NOT TOUCH ANY HOLY THING, LEST THEY DIE. “These are the things in the tabernacle of meeting WHICH THE SONS OF KOHATH ARE TO CARRY.
2Sa 6:9, David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “HOW CAN THE ARK OF THE LORD COME TO ME?”
Their intentions were good but, David did not consult the LORD ON HOW TO BRING IT UP!
1Ch 15:13, For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, BECAUSE WE DID NOT CONSULT HIM ABOUT THE PROPER ORDER.”
WE MUST DO THINGS AS HE INTENDED IT TO BE, NOT BASED ON CONVENIENCE, BUT BASED ON HIS WORD AND HIS INSTRUCTION!
1Co 14:40, LET ALL THINGS BE DONE DECENTLY AND IN ORDER.
