The Philistines and the Ark
Chase Replogle
Pastor
The glory of God continues to move the story. Israel had tried to use God as an object and robbed his glory for themselves. Now they had lost the ark, the central symbol of God’s personal relationship and history with them as his people.
It’s now the Philistines’ turn. They too learn the painful less, God’s glory can not be defined, used, or stolen. God will be glorified. We learn with them the valuable lesson. God’s glory must be kept at the center of our lives.
