After studying about the tabernacle, the ark, and how holy God is, it should make perfect sense why Uzzah received the punishment he did. God was very specific on how the ark was to be transported; rings were constructed so that acacia wood poles could be used to carry it (Exodus 25:10-15). David and the Levites simply did not inquire of the Lord to learn the proper way to move the ark–they just did what they thought was best, regardless of the instructions. David took a shortcut by placing it on a cart instead of having Levites carry it. Uzzah’s death caused David to go back to the word of the Lord and read the instructions before finally moving the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15). Today we have the benefit of having God’s word written down and easily accessible, and yet we (individually and collectively) still take shortcuts and try to obey and worship God our own way, regardless of the instructions. God may not strike us down like he did Uzzah, but we need to be on our guard because ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

Twice it is said that "Noah did everything just as God commanded him" (6:22, 7:5). But later we see that he showed his humanness by getting drunk and lying naked. So God did not get rid of all the evil in the world by having the flood come. To do that He would have had to get rid of all mankind. But that was not his plan. It is reassuring that God knows the big picture and has a master plan. I am glad that He is in charge and I am not.
