1 Samuel 6:1-21

6 And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.

3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:

8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.

9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.

10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:

11 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.

13 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the Lord.

15 And the Levites took down the ark of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the Lord.

16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the Lord; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;

18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.

19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.

20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the Lord; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.

________________________

The Financial Manger of the Car Dealership was a very nice young woman, beautifully dressed, in a cheery office filled with sunshine (and A/C, of course). I sat opposite her at the desk to read all the contracts and sign the papers so I could drive away in my "new" car. Around her neck was a gold necklace with the number "444" at her throat. Naturally, I just HAD to ask!

"These are my 'Angel Numbers", she replied. "They stand for PROSPERITY."

"Oh SNAP!" I thought. "Here I am, trying to secure financing at a decent rate on a ten-year-old car, and NOW I have been presented with a Idol-Smashing-Mission-From-God! Grrrrr"

Looking at the charm I prayed to God for the right words. (This all happened in milliseconds). Then I spoke.

"That's AMAZING! Isaiah 44:4 in the Bible is about Prosperity too:

...I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring. 4. They will sprout among the grass like willows by flowing streams.


She thought that was cool. I gave her my business card and said to call me anytime, and I drove my new car home that day.

Wearing a "charm" is a very ancient practice called "Votive". The person would either paint a picture or make a carving of the object of his desire, and then focus on that image to get the desired result. It is the origin behind Cave Paintings (for success in the hunt), for fat pregnant goddess statuettes (for Prosperity and Fertility), and for amulets on a modern charm bracelet. To coin a phrase, "There's Always A Motive Behind The Votive". They aren't "Art for Art's Sake".

The Philistines were having a terrible time with The Ark of the Covenant. Everywhere they tried to install it, people were afflicted with rodents and tumors. The only way they could get rid of it was to return it to the Israelites. In true "Votive Motive" manner, they made golden mice and golden tumors to represent their desire to be delivered from these plagues.

To this day, people engage in "Votive Motive" activity. Angel Numbers, Vision Boards, and Charms are all "Caveman Theology".

The God of the Universe, The One Who Created DNA, Galaxies, Black Holes, and Our Beautiful Planet doesn't play those games.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The LORD (Psalm 33)

God Bless America.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

Amen to your prayer, words of wisdom are the best. Don’t do what the crowd is doing is also very wise.

Wishing You the Best !

I had to giggle about your Auto Reprogramming as mine has it’s
Clock Set on 24hr display
“Military Time” !
Tried a few Times but to no avail.
The Mental math keeps my brain
Functioning so I Live with It !
.
The insidious Trials we face in
This Upholstered Sewer awaiting
Our True Ultimate Reality!
.
Cheers!

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
