Unbelief is dangerous, regardless of who you are.
In the first chapter of Luke, Zechariah, a member of the priestly tribe, was standing in the holy place offering incense before God. And Angel of the Lord brought him a message, but because he refused to believe the message and question the power of God, Zechariah was struck dumb!
Another example of unbelief is in Numbers 20:12 when Moses and Arron's lack of trust in God led them to take rash actions. They struck the rock twice instead of merely speaking to it as God had instructed.
This simple act of unbelief disqualified them from their long awaited entrance into the promised land.
God does not exempt his leaders from judgment if they fail to walk before him in the purity of faith.
He is" no respecter of persons" (acts 10:34) and judges unbelief the same in all people
.
Uzzah steadied the Ark (1Chronicles 13:10) and was struck dead. Nadab and Abihu offered" strange fire" (Leviticus 10:1) and were immediately burned alive by the fire of God.
God is also in his holiness and will not be disregarded.
Let us serve him" acceptably with reverence and godly fear" (Hebrews 12:28)
Daily reading:
Numbers 19:1 – 20:29,
Psalms 56:1 – 13,
Proverbs 11:8,
Luke 1:1 – 25
