It is imperative to know that we (psalmists and minstrels) are called to carry God's glory, but NEVER to take it. NEVER allow the accolades of men to cause you to put down your "stave" and put His glory on your own "cart."
Uzzi found out first-hand (in I Chronicles) the consequence of this disorder. Beyond the physical death of Uzzi, his purpose and destiny was snubbed out becuse now the "Ark of the Covenant" was being pushed and pulled (ie, taken, instead of carried).
Anytime you put your hands on it, the 'Death of Destiny' is emminent. Staves were specifically designed to go through the rings of the God-designated cart. In turn, the Ark of the Covenant would be elevated ABOVE the four (4) Levites that rested the staves on their shoulders. This indeed is God's visual position of "HUMILITY" for His people. I Peter 5:6 instructs us to humble ourselves UNDER the mighty hand of God that He may exalt us in due time (season).
So, my fellow friends, psalmists, and minstrels alike...hold on to your stave, and dont let anyone fool you into using a new cart.
Until next time...be blessed.
