2 Samuel 6This chapter records two mistakes with dire consequences. First, Uzzah sees the oxen stumble, and reaches out his hands to stabilize the ark of the covenant. He is struck dead because he presumed to correct something that God had not called him to correct. Michal sees her husband dancing about in a linen ephod and is incensed that he chose not to wear his royal robes. She is embarrassed at David’s choice of worship. Her sarcastic remarks to David had consequences as well. When we presume to criticize that which is holy, we run the risk of similar fates.
LORD, may our love for you keep us from seeking to correct others in their worship. That is between them and you.
