1 Samuel Five

"But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained."
-----1 Samuel 5:4

After reading what God does in this chapter, it becomes obvious that He could have stopped the Philistines from taking the ark in the first place. He chose another route.

I think for two reasons:
1. To show the world His great power.
2. To show the Israelites that His protection is the greatest thing they will ever experience.

"Father, thank You for being strong."
