41 | Whose glory is being sought? | 1 Sam 4:3 | Mommapbs | 242866 | ||
Greetings Ed, it seems to me that this is not so much about the sin of the priests as it is a judgement of God on His people. Please note that this decision was not reached by the priests, but rather the elders of Israel. The man of God (2:27) announced God's judgment against the house of Eli and his descendants (v. 30) which gives us this warning as well: 'I will honor those who honor Me but those who despise Me will be disgraced.' My original question is about the elders. How did their action dishonor the LORD? My thinking here is that the elders believed that by bringing God into the situation the outcome would change. It did not. I suspect that we may be guilty of the same misunderstanding. God is about His glory first. Might we also cloak our self-centered desires in a similar manner as these elders? Of course God wants me to be rich . . . think of all I could do for Him then. Whose glory are we really seeking? Thankfully, in the end, God is glorified when we finally lay to rest the idol of self. | ||||||

43 | Reasons for anger and grief? | 1 Sam 20:34 | Mommapbs | 34943 | ||
As jealousy and pride continued to reign in Saul's heart, once more he plotted to kill David. David appealed to Jonathan for help. Jonathan responded saying, “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without confiding in me. Why would he hide this from me? It's not so!” 1 Samuel 20:2. Yet shortly thereafter, Jonathan discovered that David was telling the truth about Saul. Jonathan had thought that he had a good relationship with his father, one built on confidence and trust. (“Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, ‘Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The LORD won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?’ Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: ‘As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.’” 1 Samuel 19:4-6.) Jonathan was angry and he "grieved over David because his father had dishonored him." Could there be more reasons for anger and grief associated with this verse than meets the eye? Didn't Saul dishonor his relationship with his son as well? I'm wondering, what would God have us to learn from this? How often do we let our perceptions dictate what we believe? Comments? |

48 | 2 Kings 16 in our worship practices? | 2 Kin 16:11 | Mommapbs | 44956 | ||
After reading the account of Ahaz in this chapter I am struck by the audacity of Ahaz to make an altar of worship apart from the Lord's direction and specifications. (Read on, he does other things as well!) I'm wondering how much we have imported from the "world of our own ideas" into worship of the Lord? Anyone care to comment on this chapter with respect to the Church today? |

51 | Support for Israel! | 1 Chr 12:18 | Mommapbs | 47148 | ||
"Peace to him who helps you" In light of the recent events taking place in the Holy Land, might this be another reason to encourage our national leaders to continue to support Israel? Also, reading on down in the passage, v22 says "For day by day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army like the army of God." Might this have a prophetic tone to it? |
