The Presence Of God Is Not A Lucky Charm
This is the reason the Philistinians were terrified on knowing the Ark of the Covenant had entered the battlefield. But alas, the Israelites had come to treat it like a lucky charm. The relationship by and large, with the one who was resident of the Ark of the Covenant was missing.
Listen, the Lord Calls Out To You
The standout point in todays Bible Readings is that we are presented a God who seeks us.
A Conversation of the Heart
The first point speaks of Samuel as one who had a lifelong Nazorean Oath, just like Samson. We hardly speak of this part of dedication to Yahweh.
