THE DOWNFALL OF DAGON
MEMORY VERSE: “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” (1 SAMUEL 5:4).
The hostility ended with the Philistines defeating the Israelites. The Philistines committed a blunder by capturing the ark of the covenant of the LORD and placing it side by side with Dagon, their idol, thus ascribing their victory to Dagon. In the morning, Dagon was “fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD”.

Perhaps they thought it was accidental, they put it back into its place. The aftermath was disastrous. Their jubilation and funfair was therefore shortlived when they discovered the dismemberment of Dagon the following day. Their dumb idol was degraded. God defended His glory by bringing a painful and dreaded disease, ’emerods’ upon the Philistines of Ashdod.
In like manner, the kingdom of Satan will certainly fall before the Kingdom of Christ, darkness before light, error before truth, and profanity before godliness. The Bible says, “The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day” (Isaiah 2:11). Do not compare anything with Jehovah. Worship Him only.
QUOTE: Do not compare anything with Jehovah.
CHALLENGE: God is sovereign and supreme.
PRAYER: O God, I worship your majesty. Let me not wander away from you.
