The Way It's Always Been Done, Or God's Word

 

Today's verse is 1 Chronicles 13:7

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

    When the Philistines returned the Ark of the Covenant to Israel, they had done so with a cart, and so, it appears without searching the scriptures, David thought to do similar. But God is Jealous, and we are to come to him by his terms, not howsoever we please, and therefore, because God’s Word was ignored, someone died. And ever true to human nature, David blamed God. However, we have recieved commandment, even through James, Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But if we delay too long Amos’ warning may very well be upon us; And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. Therefore, while it may be found, let us be doers of the word, and not hearers only; for then we shall be blessed of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
