But they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die (Numbers 4:15).

Have you considered the consequences of disobedience?

God delineates right from wrong. Moses records, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, ‘Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die'” (Genesis 2:16-17). Adam’s disobedience brings sin, suffering, and death to mankind.

Uzzah is a Kohathite. We are informed from Numbers 4 that he was strictly trained never to touch the ark of God, lest he die. Moreover, we learn from 2 Samuel 6:7, “Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God” (2 Samuel 6:7). Uzzah’s disobedience by touching the ark brought his swift demise.

Employment Point: Avoid the path of death by honoring God’s Word.
