"Now the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months. And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, 'What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place.' "
I Samuel 6:1-2
"What shall we do with this God?" It is amazing to me that the mindset of people who, though they recognize the power of the true God, would want to send Him away rather than bow the knee in worship. The Philistines knew that their problems were a result of God's judgment and that He was greater than their gods (vss. 3-5). Still, they wanted to get rid of Him. They would not worship Him. What blindness of the heart! It was not ignorance of their intellects, but hardness of their hearts that kept them from receiving the Lordship of the One True God.
Today's Thought: The desire to get rid of God is not an intellectual problem, but a heart problem.
Have a receiving day. Love you.
