Uzzah

I used to really feel bad when I read the story of Uzzah.  All he did was reach his hand to steady the cart, but lost his life.  I believe that we can be sincere, but sincerely wrong.  There is nothing wrong with simply saying, I want to help, I just don't know if this is the excellent way to do it.  Even in the way we go about things, there has to be a time when even your best has to be objectively evaluated and refused if it simplyis not good enough.  I have been taught all my life to accept it if it is the best that can be done.  If that is your standard then knock yourself out.  If the standard is that it has to be the best then keep it there, and refuse the lesser if it indeed is inferior.  I guess sometimes you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.  The standard was not changed because Uzzah was sincere or because he was helpful or because he was ignorant or because he had "a good heart".  He died................end of story.
