NEVER TRY TO HELP GOD Sunday August 2, 2015
Text: 1 Chronicle 13:9 – 13 Memory verse: v 9
Here
the sin Uzza committed is a warning for us never to take heed of presumption,
rashness, and irreverence, when handling or dealing with holy things (1
Chronicles 13:9). We should never think that a good intention will justify a
bad action. In our communion with God we must carefully watch over our own
hearts, lest familiarity breed contempt and we think God is in anyway indebted
to us. That was the sin of Uzza.
Beloved,
let the punishment of Uzza be a proof to us that the God with whom we have to
do is a Jealous God. Uzza’s death, like that of Nadab and Abihu, proclaims
aloud that God will be sanctified in those that come nigh unto
Him. How do you treat the things of God as a Pastor or church member? Never take things for granted or you will know that our God is Jealous.
Him. How do you treat the things of God as a Pastor or church member? Never take things for granted or you will know that our God is Jealous.
Action: Write down some ways we take things of God for
granted.
Prayer: God, help me never to mishandle holy things in Jesus
name.
