What we think God will or will not do in any given situation doesn't matter. His Word gives the definitive answer to what actions He will take.
In II Samuel 6, David decides to bring the ark to Jerusalem.
1) A new cart is used. It's obvious David didn't consult the High Priest or the Word of God before selecting this method of transportation.
2) Music is played. While this was nice, it wasn't part of the instructions God gave for moving the ark.
3) There was probably worship and dancing as well.
4) The ark almost falls off the cart.
5) Uzzah steadies it with his hand.
6) The anger of God was aroused, and Uzzah dies.
7) David becomes angry and parks the ark. 2 Samuel 6:9 tells us that David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?"
The unknown with the things of God can bring fear, anger, inaction and/or defective belief. David does his homework and finds out that the ark is supposed to be carried on poles by the priests. He follows God's way of doing things and brings the ark to Jerusalem.
