When you are down with a flu, do you go out and spend the night out on the town? Do you party all night with your flu? Please excuse the expression. You must be either stupid or crazy! You are not being sensible. You are doing something that causes your condition to persist, or even get worse. The Philistines are also stupid or crazy.
1 Samuel 5:7, And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god.”
Their god just got whacked and the people started getting sick because of a powerful God. Who do you call when you have this situation? The logical thing is to call the powerful God. What did they do? They sent the ark out of their city. I am using blunt language here because it is no point being sensitive to people's feelings when they lose the plot.
Father, help me to show the loving and faithful God you are to all peoples.
