the LORD and prepare to return the
It is no small detail that David explained in verse 13 what went wrong previously that cost Uzzah his life. "Because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to this rule."
The parade and great national celebration was on again! The bands played. The choirs sang. The people danced. Thousands cheered.
He has often been called the God of the second chance. The LORD did not change His plans; He only changed those involved so they would put His word into practice.
Because of the
forgiveness we have in Jesus, "He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). And, then, the LORD puts us right back on the
path to do what we were supposed to do in the first place. That is grace.
