pray for us!

1 Sam. 4:3

"Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies"

Worship of Yahweh had degenerated into superstition. It was not the ark of the covenant which would save Israel from their enemies, but the God of the Covenant who fervently desired to redeem them-and their enemies too! Their misunderstanding of God's heart not only resulted in the loss of the ark and the defeat of their army, but it also made it all the more difficult for the nations around them to come to know God's lovingkindness and tender mercies. It is true today, as then, that "blessing all the families of the earth" is the surest way to make our enemies into friends.

Father, teach us not to trust in horses or chariots (or missiles and bombs) but to take Your gospel to those who hate us and to therein find our security. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!GO HERE & pray for an unreached people group EVERY HOUR!! www.prayerguard.net
