Bacaan tahunan: Genesis 12-15

We may never menyaksikandalam horror movies, how scripture or religious symbols. Used to make the demons of fear and helplessness. Whether influenced by such movies or family tradition, there are Christians who do the same. They put the cross in his home in the hope of the house will be protected against evil spirits. Some people will feel very

calm when sleep was accompanied by the Bible.

In reading these days, the elders of Israel questioned why God did not accompany them in battle. Actually, they have directed the mind to the right Person. Unfortunately, they then took the wrong conclusion. Quickly they looking for "something" to make them calm. They bring "sacred objects", namely the Ark of the Covenant, accompanied by the "saints" the priests, Hophni and Phinehas. Think they are, things that can make God come and release them. They are consumed with the superstitious spirit just as the enemy they are also very afraid of the ark. The result? Defeat them even worse. Apparently, saints and sacred objects can not help them.

Quite often we face the difficulties of life like a battle every day. When looking for a sense of calm and victory, to what or whom we place our hope? Is there a particular object or person-that it is not God-to be our resting place? Be careful with spiritual superstition that makes us to ilahkan something and hurt God - PBS
