FAITH CAPSULE: Study to know God and not be an ignorant believer.
2 Samuel 6
By the word of God in place for all, there should be no ignorance for those who give themselves to the word of God.
Lack of knowledge of the word is bound to established ignorance.
Before God, there is no excuse for ignorance.
A lack of knowledge and understanding is the state of being ignorant.
In life, ignorance makes a believer become destitute.
God alone is the creator of all.
God sees heaven and earth, and no one can successfully hide from God.
Running from God is limited, for a while, to become caught up.
Before God, there is no excuse for ignorance.
The lack of knowledge and understanding is engaging in a journey of self-destruction.
Hosea 4:6 records, “My people are destroyed, for lack of knowledge.”
Ignorance is a lack of knowledge that makes a believer destitute.
Among believers, doing right in the wrong way or doing wrong instead of doing right, is rampant.
Romans 10:3 states, “For they, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.”
Set yourself before God:
Study to know God and not be an ignorant believer.
Always do right and know there is no excuse for ignorance before God.
Taking the doings of God for granted is not acceptable, but an act of ignorance.
Do not take God for granted.
Taking God for granted is disobedient to His word.
The word of God called Abraham for the sacrifice of his one and only child.
Abraham attempted to do as God demanded of him.
God responds to the attempt of Abraham, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12)
Abraham obeyed God from his heart.
Abraham did not withhold the word of God.
One who seeks God with all heart and soul is seeking God diligently.
Abraham could not take God for granted.
Abraham obeyed God and lived life for God by seeking God with all his heart and soul.
Are you taking God for granted?
The life of Uzzah is an example of ignorance with no excuse before God.
Uzzah made a wrong choice in an attempt to save the ark from falling.
When returning the Ark of God to Jerusalem.
The act of Uzzah is a violation and had no reasonable excuse for the consequence of sin before God.
Uzzah was ignorant of touching the Ark of God, resulting in the termination of his life.
2 Samuel 6:6-8 documents, “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 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.”
The ignorance of Uzzah was the cause of untimely death.
There is no excuse for ignorance.
Prayer for today: Ask not to become a victim of ignorance before God.
