I can definitely be a control freak - at the time I think I'm "helping" but really I am preventing God from being in control.LAMommyof3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11157542162208525911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487833747049757339.post-18476379701454907302005-08-24T08:02:00.000-05:002005-08-24T08:02:00.000-05:00Hi Tina, Great post. I love this passage in the ...Hi Tina, Great post. I love this passage in the OT. I love the OT. There's no way to really appreciate the NT without it. One of our Pastors did a sermon on that passage called "Don't put God in a Box." The essence of it was that we tend to rely on our uneducated impressions of who God is. Kind of like creating God in our image versus the other way around. Uzzah did that. He'd lived with the ark since he was a child, so thought he knew everything. What he'd failed to do was to find out how the ark was supposed to be transported. It was NEVER supposed to be on an ox cart. It was supposed to be carried on poles. Had he taken the time to really find out God's will in this, there would have been no Oxen to stumble in the first place. It was his "familiarity" with God that cost him his life. He'd put God in a box of his own making. Never a good thing to do. Thanks for really bringing that issue to light.Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08270387695591493366noreply@blogger.com
