DAILY READINGS: Deut. 9:1-10:11; Eccl. 11:1-12:14; Luke 9:1-17
The elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord…it may save us…And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed. 1 Samuel 4:3, 21
Ichabod—what a terribly sad thing for Israel—God’s glory had departed! It all started when the “elders” made a decision contrary to the Word of God (v. 3). Is it possible that the glory has departed from some
assemblies of God’s people today? We often spend hours discussing a problem and a possible solution when we could better spend that time in prayer and searching the Word of God for His answer. —David Croudace
