1 Samuel 4:1b-22 | The Ark of the Covenant (Part One)
February 24, 2019
Over the next three chapters of 1 Samuel (4-6) we’re going to follow the story of the ark of the covenant. Here in chapter 4 we see God’s people attempt to use the ark like a rabbit’s foot and force God to do their will. The results will be disastrous as they not only suffer defeat, but God’s glory departs from his people. In this story is a vivid reminder for us to live under God’s will and for his glory, not our own.
