Is Your Help Reverencing God?

Jola Speaks

In 2 Samuel 6:1-8, we find the account of King David's attempt to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. David's intention was to honor God and bring His presence closer to the people. However, in their zeal, they neglected to follow God's specific instructions for handling the Ark, resulting in a tragic incident when Uzzah reached out to steady it and was struck dead.
The lesson here is profound. Reverencing God involves not only good intentions but also obedience to His commands. David and his men wanted to honor God, but they failed to do so in the manner prescribed by God himself. Their actions lacked reverence because they disregarded God's explicit instructions.
This story prompts us to reflect on our own lives. Are we truly reverencing God in our actions and endeavors? It's not enough to have good intentions or to claim to serve God; we must also align our actions with His will and obey His commandments. True reverence for God involves a humble submission to His authority and a diligent effort to follow His ways.
In our desire to serve God and bring glory to His name, we must be careful not to neglect His instructions or take them lightly. Reverence for God means honoring Him not just with our words or intentions, but with our actions and obedience as well. Let us strive to reverence God in all that we do, ensuring that our help and service are aligned with His will and bring honor to His name.
