Why Trust God? 47

~ God Returned The Ark ~

 

Introduction  ~  “Abundant Life Now” previously provided a list of Biblical of examples of fearing / reverencing God (217 posts).  In this current series we look at Biblical accounts that demonstrate that we can fully trust God.  Initially we posted seven general reasons for trusting God.  We are currently looking at passages from all 66 books of Scripture which demonstrate a reason for trusting our Creator. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Now the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months.  And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, ‘What shall we do with the ark of the Lord?  Tell us how we should send it to its place’” (1 Samuel 6:1-2).

 

“Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord.  He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.  And the men of Beth Shemesh said, ‘Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God?  And to whom shall it go up from us?’  So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, ‘The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord; come down and take it up with you’” (1 Samuel 6:19-21).
