2nd Samuel 6:11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
In addition to this, if, as David concluded, with so many others, that God acted inappropriately, and as a result they were justified in being scared of Him, how is it that in both instances where the ark was removed to certain households, nothing but God’s blessing came upon those two homes? How do we square the questioning of His justice on the one hand and great blessings from the very same God under different circumstances?
There seems to be some great disconnect that persons keep missing for some reason. The answer to this conundrum is as simple as it gets, for the issue has to do with the perspectives that are held by many people including Christians as it pertains to the instructions and laws of God. There is a lot of noise in contemporary Christian circles, as regards God’s law and His instructions to us.
All of the reasons such as good intentions, reflex actions, personal opinions, and God’s love, do not atone for disobedience. When God told Cain and Abel to bring a lamb, He meant a lamb and nothing else. Persons who might genuinely be in ignorance of the Sabbath might be accepted by God for their sincerity, but as far as accepting any other day of the week as a substitute, just because a person did not know, that will never ever happen.
Genesis 4:6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doe not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
