A hard story forces us to face a hard truth: passion for God cannot replace obedience to God. We trace David, Uzzah, and the Ark to learn why fear of the Lord protects joy, how real repentance works, and why Scripture must shape our methods.

• the Ark’s return and why a new cart missed God’s command
• the difference between sincere worship and holy obedience
• why fear of the Lord brings alignment not panic
• Numbers 4 and Exodus on how to carry the Ark
• copying the world’s methods versus trusting God’s
• to obey is better than sacrifice from 1 Samuel 15
• Hosea 6 and Micah 6 on obedience repentance
• Psalm 51 as a template for contrition and renewal
• reading the Bible to obey it, not just admire it

With that in mind, go do your business with God. 

Whatever's on your heart right now, take a moment, take whatever time you need, go deal with him, go talk with him, and we'll see you next time.
