2 Sam 5-6
David wanted to bring back the ark, but on the way back, 6:v6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God. 8 And David was angry because the Lord had burst forth against Uzzah.
Should David be angry? Of course, as man. The intention he started was good t- bring the ark back, but something went wrong and the ark was not back where David indented. In addition, someone died.
v9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?”
His anger turned to fear. Why? who are we to be angry with God? What do we have against Him? The Lord choose He chooses.
Yes David was angry at first, man nature, but he saw and realised the sovereignty of God.
Recognize the sovereignty of God. Who are we man against God? If we knew who this God is, we will be like Daivd who fear Him more than we are angry with him.
