You ever have one of those episodes where it seems like you are doing what God wants you do and then it seems like it has completely taken a wrong turn?
I know that is the way David felt when he was bringing the Ark of God back to Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 6). Here he was bringing the Ark of God back to God's people so they could be blessed and one of the escorts gets struck dead by God's anger for trying to stabilize the Ark of God.
You want to do what God wants but in your haste or passion it isn't necessary the way God wants something done or in the order God wants you or someone else to do it in. And when you try to force it to be done your way... you aren't in God's will. You are heading down that road marked of good intentions that lead only for a heartache. Thank God for his grace. Thank him helping us to steer us right and stand up again. Thank him for stopping the situation before it became even worse.
After the realization you hadn't done things the way God wanted them to, you probably become frustrated, sad, angry, and even thought God was upset with you. Your role or someone else's role wasn't what you thought it was suppose to be.
You find out that you were zealous and not careful with the position/role and responsibility God had given you. You assumed and ran with emotions as David had and it didn't turn out the way you expected. You even might have had to stare at some of your weakness and accept them along with opposition of those who came with you down this road or idea.
We all may have the zeal to do right but it's God's way or no way. Thank God he was there with his hand over our lives when we did go too far. When we were over zealous and assumed more then what we were suppose to take on. We said more then what we were suppose to say. We messed up but God does beautiful things with our mess ups too.
May the Lord help us all to be the person He wants us to be for today, in Jesus Name Amen.
