Ep. 98: Don't Just Glance But Gaze at the God Who Sees You

<p class="p1">In Podcast Episode 98, “Don’t Just Glance But Gaze at the God Who Sees You,” Kim discusses the dangers of only glances in God’s direction and never really seeing Him for who He is. Both the Philistines and the Israelite people of Beth-shemesh had the opportunity to be in God’s presence and to experience Him, but both missed their opportunities. The Philistines never acknowledged Him as the One True God and the people of Beth-shemesh treated the Ark more like a carnival attraction than the presence of God.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 6:1-21, with the key verses being 1 and 19:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">1 The Ark of the Lord remained in Philistine territory seven months in all.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">19 But the Lord killed seventy men from Beth-shemesh because they looked into the Ark of the Lord. And the people mourned greatly because of what the Lord had done. </p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">OTHER RESOURCES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3"><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz81dIfwf4Y&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR10zxJDExBH7Id1jiyQ_1DMei9LA4Pzz1vPZucgZE10w65y9Bwu-kqAai8'>The God Who Sees by Nicole C.
