Epic (Part 2): The Storyline Of The Bible

DAY 54 OF 91

The Philistines continue to be a problem for Israel, just like they were for Samson. The people decide they can win the battle if they take the ark of the covenant, a symbol of God’s presence, into the battle with them. They believe they can manipulate God into fighting on their side. The plan does not work, and God judges Eli and his sons.

People still believe they can manipulate God for their own purposes. If we just say the right words or have enough faith or make convincing promises to him, he will give us what we want. God operates as he chooses. We can ask him for things, but we need to have the faith to believe that the outcome he chooses is the one that is best.

About this Plan

Epic (Part 2): The Storyline Of The Bible

This is part two of a four part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one epic story of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.
