You Can’t Ignore the Holiness of God and Experience His Presence

Episode Summary: The great theologian Augustine prayed famously, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” King David would have been the first to affirm Augustine’s observation about human nature in general and his own longings. He begins Psalm 63 with the words. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you. David knew that he was created to enjoy a love relationship with God. But the event from David’s life that we study in this episode reveals David learning an important lesson about God’s presence: You can’t enjoy that presence if you ignore the holiness of God.  

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. What does God’s presence in your life mean to you?
2. How would you summarize the lesson David learned when Uzzah was struck dead as they moved the Ark to Jerusalem.
3. What are your thoughts about remembering the holiness of God in our everyday lives. Why might that be important?
