one more story

i was reminded of this story as an example of "right" intentions and "wrong" actions.

just a few more ponderings...

if God only cared about motives, then why on earth would he strike uzzah dead? all he wanted was to keep the ark of the covenant from falling into the mud...
but he didn't obey.

i can only conclude that God wants our full obedience. this means everything-our motives and our actions. one can not be complete without the other.

uzzah displeased God, just as the pharisees displeased jesus.
i am convicted that right actions must be matched with the right intentions.
now to live it...
