GOD CAN SUSTAIN YOU: ALLOW HIM!

1 SAMUEL 5:4

And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.

God doesn’t need man’s help to showcase his might. He is God all by Himself. Be confident in the God you are serving. The Philistines saw Dagon, their most revered god, fallen upon his face before the ark of the Lord. Wondering if it was by chance, they stood Dagon up the next day. But God helped them to erase all doubt; He slew Dagon, permanently this time, cutting off his palms and head; only his stump remained.

Years later, when David brought the ark back into Israel, the ark stumbled. An escort to the ark, Uzzah, thinking he could help God, reached out to support the ark, but he provoked the anger of God and died instantly (2 Samuel 6:6-7).

Now the question is, would the Ark have fallen if the oxen had stumbled? No! If you have ever seen the earth from space, you would notice that the earth is hanging on nothing. Nothing!

The planet has no pillar holding it. The God who hung the universe into space with nothing holding it can hold an ark, an ordinary box. Uzzah denied us the chance to see the Ark of Covenant holding itself.

What is your life that you think He cannot hold you up? If he holds up the universe by the word of his power, he can hold your life up.

Prayer: Lord, I maintain my confidence in you. Your might is greater than any other. My life is secure in your hands. Thank you, Jesus.
