Intellect Gamcheon (至誠感天) means that the sky is moved by the utmost sincerity (精誠).
If people put their sincerity into what they do, sometimes things will be done with that devotion.
Even in the world, I see them serving their parents with utmost sincerity and letting their children take care of them, feed them, and make them live.
There will be things in our lives that we take care of with utmost sincerity.
- The importance of the ark of God.
The ark was what the Israelites, who said they were serving God, had to serve with sincerity.
Ark of the Covenant: Inside the Most Holy, the high priest enters once a year and listens to God's voice and takes it to the place where he prayed. It contains Aaron's rod that sprouted, the Ten Commandments, and manna.
It typifies Jesus Christ. The One who gives life to the inanimate, the Word, and the one who gives us daily bread. The ark is that important.
But the last judge (Eli) priest, two sons (Hophni, Phinehas)
They despised God's sacrifice (1 Samuel 2:17).
In 1 Samuel 4, the ark was captured in the war against the Philistines.
The two sons died in the war, and when Eli heard the news, he sat down on a chair and his neck was broken and died.
She is cursed to be killed while giving birth to a child (Ichabod) with her daughter-in-law.
1 Samuel 4:22 Glory has departed from Israel because the ark of God has been taken.
That is why the ark of God was so important and had the glory of God.
The ark that went to the land of the Philistines cursed the land of the Philistines, destroyed the god they worshiped, and brought calamity. Seven months later, they abandoned it in a place called Beth-shemesh.
The men of Kiriath-jearim brought them into the house of Abinadab and consecrated his son Eliasar to keep the ark (1 Samuel 7:1).
- Man cannot glorify God with his best.

Saul walked without question before the ark of God.

The oxen ran on the threshing floor of prayer, and Uzzah stretched out her hand to take hold of the ark, and the LORD was angry and died. there beres utsa
David feared God and carried the ark to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
Why did God kill Uzzah on this good day?
I could have just skipped over it anyway.
He did his best to pour cold water on the people of Israel and David, whom he praised, liked and rejoiced in, to give him discouragement. It is the fact that man's best efforts cannot glorify God. No matter how well prepared you are and no matter how hard you try, it is of no use.
- The word of God is important.
Why did the Perez Uzzah incident happen?
David, who failed the first time, did not get discouraged and tried again and looked at where God's will was. They did not remember the Word of God.
There are standards and methods for moving the ark of God.

Man's best not to follow God's word is of no use.
Rather, it may be to dishonor God.
Ex) Acts 5:1-11 Ananias Sapphira
Romans 2:23 Do you, who boast of the law, dishonor God by breaking the law?
Those who say they know the law well dishonor God because they do not keep the law. Do we who say we know God's Word well live a life that dishonors God?
The fact that there must always be the Word of God in the effort and the best.
As we can see from the fruit of a tree, the fruit of our life tells us who we are.
- Write those who are ready.
David was afraid of carrying the ark of God, so he placed the ark of God in Obed-edom's house.
Obed-edom must have been afraid too. Neither King David nor all the people of Israel would have wanted to house the ark.
God uses Obed-edom who is prepared. The ark was brought to his house and stayed there for three months.
No one would have moved the ark of God.
It must have been a person who served God well and lived a life that brought glory to God.
God blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had.
It is a fact that blessings have been given to us only when we have kept the ark of God.
1 Chronicles 26:4-8 The sons of Obed-edom: The firstborn Shemaiah, the second Jehoshaphat, the third Joah, the fourth Sagar, the fifth Nethanel, the sixth Ammiel, the seventh Issachar, and the eighth Beuledah, for God has blessed Obed-edom, and his son Shemaiah also begot a few sons, a ruler over their tribe, a great mighty man. The sons of Shemaiah were Odni, Rebael, Obed, and Elshaphat; Elihu and Shemagiah, Elshaphat's brothers, were powerful, all descendants of Obed-edom. They and their sons and their brethren, all having power and doing their jobs well, sixty-two of Obed-edom.
