2 Samuel

6:7, "And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah and God struck him there for his irreverence ..."

Uzzah was struck because the ark nearly slipped from the cart and he took hold of it. Israel chose to put it on a cart rather than moving it the right way which should be by carrying it by poles and on the shoulder. Such is the repercussions when we mishandle the holiest things of God. Mishandling the Word of God. Mishandling His bountiful grace by taking it for granted. His holy presence descending in our worship. Lord, forgive me when I mishandle Your precious gifts, for "every good thing comes from" You.
