How did Obed-Edom's blessing illustrate God's favor?

Answered in 1 source

Obed-Edom was blessed for reverently receiving the Ark, representing faith in God's provision.

After Uzzah's death, the Ark was left in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, during which time the Lord blessed him and his household. This underscores the truth that those who receive Christ into their lives are welcomed into God's favor and blessing. Obed-Edom's status as a Levite signifies the importance of faith and obedience in the reception of God's presence. His experience contrasts sharply with Uzzah's careless actions, demonstrating that true reverence toward God leads to divine blessing and favor, reinforcing that faith in Christ brings not just acceptance but abundant grace.
