Ichabod

Phinehas' wife was pregnant with due date nearing, when Israel was defeated, her husband killed, the Ark taken away and hearing which Eli fell down and died. Hearing all these tragic news in one go, she went into labour and gave birth to a baby boy. She named him Ichabod which means "Where is the glory?", saying the glory has departed from Israel for the Ark of God has been captured.

The pandemic creating havoc around the globe. So much of murder and rapes happening around. Cheat and fraud cases on the rise. Bribery and Havalah's running around. The questions that keep arising is the same. "Where is the glory?" Where is God? Why is God silent? Is there God at all?

No my question back is, why do you want to point fingers at God for the issues of man. Man has for so long declared his rebellion and independence from God by disobeying Him. God, when He created, everything was well and good, till man fell. So whatever despoilation that we encounter, God is not responsible, man is. So the question to be asked is not to God, but to man.

Agreed, the question that would follow is - is not God in control? Why does He allow?

Eph:2:2 In which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.

Once sin entered the world, the evil one is at work in man's heart. And the devil reiterates that in the second temptation of Jesus.

A day is coming, when Jesus will come back to claim everything which is rightfully His. Will you be able to stand before Him?

It is easy to question God. It is easy to say reasoning and logic would lead you otherwise. But search and find, that evidence of God is stronger.

But if the Spirit triggers you today, do not keep it aside.
