GOD’S WAY OR MY WAY?

December 4

God has only one way of doing things, that is the way He prescribes.  Oftentimes we try to accomplish God’s will using whatever methods we think best or worst of all we do it like the world would do it.  When God wants something done He wants it done the way He says and if not then it will not accomplish His will.  I remember a guy who told me one day he was glad I was not telling him it was my way or the highway.  I told him that a person who designs something makes it to work only one way and it will not work if it is done any other way.  It is the same with God, He designed things a certain way, gave us the instruction book (the Bible) to tell us how to do it and the Holy Spirit to guide us and lead us.  So, I told him it was never my way, I was only trying to teach what the Bible said, it is God’s way or the highway, anything else is not right.  Which highway are we on, ours or God’s? J. Vernon McGee labeled chapter 6 “Doing a Right Thing in a Wrong Way.” With commentary from Marty McKenzie

2 Samuel 6:6-8,13-14 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And David became angry because of the LORD’S outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day. 13 And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.
