In Second Samuel chapter six, The Ark of the Covenant is arriving, and David is struck with fear as he sees a man named Uzzah die just by touching the Ark. God had previously made it clear that no man was to do this. As we consider this story, we should also consider the wisdom in fearing a powerful God. God is a loving and personal God, but He is also a God of wrath when wrath is appropriate.

Successful people are all around us, but few actually realize the source of their greatness, and even fewer still understand the purpose of it. In chapter four of Second Samuel, David was about to become the King of Israel. The source of David’s greatness was God, and there was also a purpose behind it all.
