The message argues that David's pride and turned-away heart led him to disregard God's law regarding the handling of the Ark of the Covenant. The discussion highlights the death of Uzzah, who touched the ark, and David's subsequent anger and fear. The speaker also analyzes the confrontation between David and his wife Michal, arguing that David's response was not humility but bitterness and pride, as he cared more about the praise of other women than his wife's opinion. The talk concludes by connecting these events to David's other failures, such as his multiplication of wives, which God had forbidden.---- The issue with the Ark of God's movement was that David was using the wrong people and procedures, as it was supposed to be carried by appointed men using poles, not on a new cart.- Uzzah was struck down by God for his irreverence when he touched the Ark of God.- David's response to Michal's confrontation was bitterness and pride, verbally dishonoring Saul's family.- David cared more for the praise of other women than for his wife's opinion of him.- Michal had no child until the day of her death, which the speaker suggests was due to David's bitterness and refusal to be with her as his wife.- The multiplication of wives, which God had forbidden, led to David's heart being turned away from God and caused future issues like the Bathsheba incident and a civil war at David's death.- The fear of man can lead to compromise and devastating consequences in our lives and relationships.---The video concludes by asserting that the reason we struggle to understand God's judgments in the Old Testament is that since the cross, Satan has lost his power to deceive people groups in their entirety. The ultimate takeaway is that Jesus saves us not just from sin in order to get into heaven, but he saves us so we can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live a life where we do not continue to sin.---#FearOfMan #KingDavid #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Marriage #Selfishness #MichalAlive Inc LinksWebsite: https://www.keytorevival.org/The International Ministerial Institute: https://www.keytorevival.org/imi/Your Face, O Lord, I Shall Seek (and other resources): https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/resources/Order Resources: https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/order/Fear of man, being concerned for what people think of you more than what God thinks of you, is a hidden and destructive virus to any marriage.
