The trouble oftentimes with religious people is that they try to be more spiritual than God himself.

Joshua 3 : 4b But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a] between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
Perhaps we are in times when people are either too spiritual or completely disoriented from God. So when the Ark of the covenant was being carried by the Levites into the water, there were clear instructions to the Israelites to maintain a proper distance from the ark. It was clear that there was no need to patronize God and not to block others from having a connection with the presence of God.
Many times with the extra zeal we end up causing harm rather than being a blessing to the kingdom. Unless we care for others, we have nothing to do with the kingdom of God. Let our zeal be about Loving God and His people. True love displays….
