Read II Samuel 6:5-15.  The commands for carrying the Ark were given specifically in the Law (using long poles). Why was Uzzah struck down? How did David react? Do you ever get sloppy in following God's commands, thinking that this will be "good enough”?  

Biblical Prayer Focus:
Psalm 85:4-7 Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us! Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger to all generations? Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.

Pray for yourself or others who have been disciplined by the Lord. Ask that lessons would be learned and that joy might now be revived within.
