“Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own firepan, put fire in it, placed incense on it, and presented unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them to do. Then fire came from the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. ”
Leviticus 10:1-2 CSB
I have am sure there are people who have a clear understanding of why these men’s creativity got them toasted, I don’t fully understand it, but they were going beyond what God instructed. And that is dangerous…honestly it was likely exposing their pride. They appear to be showing off or highlighting themselves rather than the Glory of God.
Lord, help me to follow Your instructions rather than take it to the next level. Keep my pride from bringing glory to myself.
