The ushering in of Ichabod came to cleanse as well as to judge. Trust in the protection that the arc of God gave was high and the people felt their trust at a height. Like Samson, they shook themselves to be protected. God had spoken that destruction would come in one single day. The death of Eli, his sons and the taking of the arc to usher in a new era of learning to be obedient and trust in God’s deliverance based on obedience and not just bloodlines. The philistines had stolen their presumption and their leaning on the arm of flesh. Samuel was brought to the forefront in such a time.
Does it affect you, when the spiritual paradigm shifts? Ichabod’s mother couldn’t rejoice in a beautiful birth for the victorious Philistines. When God uses the ungodly to overwhelm our spiritual dominion, are we even aware? Oftentimes, we are not even aware of such losses. The devil is ultimately defeated, but upon earth we have given him the house. We have chosen not to war on our God’s behalf in the arena of public discourse. Abortion looms as a bastion of Demonic influence, not to mention many other areas… God’s Word in our schools. We pay taxes to a system that refuses to reinforce our customs and morals into our young. We are delegating them to rear our children to fight the devil’s warfare against us. In the name of pluralism and polytheism. God give us faith to see the ichabod seasons. { When the glory is departed and when it is revealed!}
I saw a hummingbird this morning. The world still turns and life goes on, but the arc is in enemy hands was the morning that they had awakened to. We don’t think like that. Taking God for granted and expecting his help and success regardless of our infidelity. Are we taking the enemy to task? We can’t if we don’t know the wares that he is peddling.
