Title: Leave God's Work to God
Contents
Words: 2 Samuel 6:1~8; Verses 16-23
What is the most important aspect of your life of faith? It is knowing the heart of God.
In order to know the heart of God, many saints work hard in their own way.
True.
ex) Meditating on the Word, praying, attending worship services, living a good life
But what is the biggest mistake?
** All these attitudes of faith must be guided solely by God.
Otherwise, you are walking the wrong path and still think it is right.
All.
Maybe we have been able to see God through the God created within us.
Praying for God and devoting yourself to God will give you satisfaction in your life of faith.
It is not an exaggeration to say that I have been living in the
When David became king?
** What was the first thing you did?
The Ark of the Covenant, which was captured by the Philistines 30 years ago
will be brought to the temple.
Zion is not simply a place where David reigns, but God is worshiped,
Moving the ark is a serious matter because it is governed by God.
It is a sacred and holy task.
[ Ark of the Law ]
1) A rectangle about 1.2 meters long and a little over 60 centimeters in width and height
is the shape of
2) The material is carved wood, wrapped in pure gold.
3) The mercy seat overlying - the cherubim of the angels' two wings are made of pure gold
4) Where the angels of the mercy seat cover their wings, “I will meet you”
It is a place where direct communion with God takes place.
5) 3 kinds - two stone tablets, manna, quail
Two Stone Tablets - God's Commandments: Spiritual - God's Law
Manna - supplies what is needed (physical needs): Spiritual - Words of the day
Staff - saves. : Spiritual - guide you on the right path,
the ark? It was the seat of God's presence and the center of meeting with his children.
[Misunderstanding of the Ark]
1) The ark is not a magic box.
Why was the ark taken from fraud
Rather than focusing on “God,” he focused on the ark itself, and there
I thought the power was coming out.
2) The ark is not a superstitious entity. It's not even a magical thing.
3) What is the purpose of the ark's existence?
Showing what kind of relationship God has and guides us
It was.
How do you see it? Since it is an object made of useless wood and covered only with gold,
Sieve has no power, but there is value in God's presence there.
All.
David neglected God's presence in Abinadab's house for 30 years.
So, he wanted to take them to Jerusalem.
** Abinadab delivered the ark to Jerusalem to his two sons, Uzzah and Ahio the priest.
entrusted with moving
Meanwhile, Uzzah and Ahio knew the existence of God through the ark.
And he had his own invisible pride.
** Through the process of David moving the ark?
Gathering the tribes of Israel and Judah into one, not only the reign of David
Nira wanted to gather as a central body under the control of God.
And in the process of moving, why is this case even though we know it well?
There is an incident where Uzza dies, not knowing what happened.
What is God really trying to tell us here?
First, God's work is not my responsibility.
1) Among the attributes of God, love and wrath are the same attributes.
to be.
** God gives life and is patient with us to repent when we have sinned.
God, who constantly seeks out the lost and leads them to become children of God.
All.
A God who always cares for us with love?
Why did God kill Uzzah at the crucial time of moving the ark?
** It is natural that God judges human beings.
But the sudden killing of a person is the part that I don't quite understand.
to be.
2) The death of Aninia and Sapphira in the New Testament era
I know why I have no choice but to die without explaining it.
** Ananias and Sapphira ignored the Holy Spirit and deceived God, so their
Death is a natural death.
laugh? He is a man who has held the ark in his house for 30 years.
In addition, through the process, the ark was carefully treated, and the ark was stored in the corner of the heart.
It is true that I have become proud of myself as a mother-in-law.
3) But what is the problem?
** This is an off-topic attitude.
How much must Uzzah treasure the ark of the course of 30 years?
end?
But that's all you need to do there.
That's all Uzzah has to do.
** Any clear way to the process of carrying the ark? God through the Word
clearly said
“It is carried on the shoulder.”
4) As time passed, Uzzah and the majority of people began to listen to the word of God.
I took it for a moment and didn't know the seriousness of it.
** It seems that you are living your life of faith correctly, but there are no spiritual or religious aspects.
This is where the mistakes in maturity come from.
Are you listening to God?
** Responsibility, risk, and practicality for the Word are lacking.
that it was
Just because you're good at prayer doesn't mean you're good at living your life of faith.
Being good at service doesn't mean being good at faith
Just because you're in a higher position doesn't mean you're good at living your faith.
5) Like Uzzah’s heart and actions to protect the ark from the world, many
The saints mistakenly believe that the world emphasizes and protects the existence of God.
All.
** But the world is not keeping God.
God is protecting the world.
Uzzah is not keeping the ark. God built Israel more than the ark
you will kiss
[ apply ]
1) How do you see it? Uzzah's actions may have been reflexes.
** Therefore, how Uzzah's death itself is an unfair thing.
But! Think carefully!
Reflexively, we do not interfere with God's work more
don't you?
Are you reflexively accustomed to worshiping God?
2) Rather than living a separate life as a separate Ussa, adopt a reflexive attitude.
He had forgotten the correct attitude toward the ark and the words, and was found alive.
don't you?
** Without considering the essence of holiness, only holiness is concerned, so one
Can't I see you?
Uzzah was obviously the steward of the ark of God.
However, you must realize that you are not the one who manages God, but the one who is governed.
did.
3) Man's attitude toward God only glorifies God,
to live by exalting
** You must give a part of your life while participating in what God is going to accomplish.
It is human nature to do
No matter how righteous I may be, however much I may be worthy in the sight of God,
Degree!
** We are not responsible for God, but God is responsible for us.
will be.
How many people are dying on this earth?
Are there many orphans in this land due to war without any reason?
Does that make me a “Terminator” or “Rambo”?
** Can all children be adopted and live?
I am not responsible, I am delegated responsibility and do my best in a small area
will do
4) The Mosaic Law had clear instructions on how to handle the ark.
matters are recorded.
** The ark was never to be touched, and the Levites
It was clearly stated that it was carried by putting a stick on it.
laugh? will ignore this.
** How does the latest Philistine technology “using a chariot pulled by a bull” ride?
It may seem like a sensible and wise act.
But who of God?
** It is nonsensical rather than personal means, but in God's way,
exalt, do not confine God within one's own confines,
I must clearly separate my work and avoid death.
Second, beware of God.
1) We need to reconsider our attitude to believe in God.
All.
** Worshiping and studying God, and praying and speaking about God
We need to realize and know the love of God through the training of
you should be careful
Put simply?
Our lives become God-centered, and we receive the power that God gives us.
Even if you put on your abilities, even if you change your way of life and live a changed life,
Or even if you gradually gain recognition from the community and take a position of advising others.
It is to “beware of God.”
2) When? Because there are cases where I cross the line without realizing it.
to be.
** Although we have found a way to live rightly in God,
Because God puts himself in that upright position of life, “Take care of yourself
do it.”
It is very important for me to follow God.
It is very important for me to carry out God's mission.
** However, the first heart of the first Christian life, that is, a sense of restraint, awe, and
The spirit of faith and the attitude of faith did not change over time.
go?
3) Through Uzzah, God warns us.
** Acts that think of God like Uzzah sometimes change their mind
Isn't this included?
Don't say that you know all of God's heart with your own heart.
Why would the hearts of Uzzah neglect the ark of God?
Because he didn't pay attention to it. My heart is the heart of God
Do not say that, but quietly obey God's call and responsibility.
Third, treat God as God.
1) What was David's attitude toward Uzzah's death?
** Rather than worrying about God, I only knew that Uzzah was dead, why
I didn't know I had to die like that.
Maybe a God who is angry and perverted because of this problem?
** Rather, it may be natural that David should be killed or scolded.
But! Why does that happen?
At the center of it is the fact that they praised God and treated God as God.
it is thread
2) David danced so much that he didn't even know his clothes were taking off.
** Michal looked down on David's actions and looked down on him?
David had a deeper encounter with God than his actions and understanding life.
was keeping
David did not act out of religious obligation.
It was not intended to serve the ark in a solemn form.
Only one thing! Because of God.
3) He did not even try to elevate his power status through God.
** Only the worship of the living God was the best life for David.
When we fully open ourselves, God will fully meet us.
I need to throw away all my attachments and thoughts and look to God.
And we must treat God as the true God.
Do not try to control the time and place of worship, but to be governed by God.
“To treat God as God”
