We can see how important and how demanding a work it is. The ministry is no place for a loafer because it demands discipline and work. It is no place for a shirker because there are enemies to fight and tasks to be completed. Church members need to pray for their pastors and encourage them in the work of the Lord.

In these difficult days, it is important that we stand true to Christ and be willing to suffer for Him and not be ashamed. We may not be put into prison, as was Paul; but we suffer in other ways: the loss of friends, being bypassed for a promotion, loss of customers, being snubbed by people, etc. It is also important that we stand by God’s servants who are suffering for righteousness’ sake.

The elders rightly sensed they needed God’s help to win the battle. But they were wrong in the way they sought help. Instead of humbly repenting and seeking God, they decided to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the battle, without God’s divine leading, in hopes of guaranteeing their victory. But God never told them to do that. They only cared if it worked. We can be like the Israelites. We can create a false sense of assurance that God will bring us success when we have never invited Him to lead us. Let’s seek to do His will by faith in Christ Jesus and trust the outcome to Him.
