The Day of Small Things from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. As with many of my messages, this was a word for me, but I will share it with you as I found it encouraging.

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

Now the Philistines had taken God's ark, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. The Philistines took God's ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon. When the people of Ashdod arose early on the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before Yahweh's ark. They took Dagon and set him in his place again. 1 Samuel 5:1'3 WEB
Early in the morning when the Philistine priests came to their temple, they were shocked to find their pagan god dagon (the god of grain and fish) laying on his face before the ark of God. So they stood dagon back up, but the next morning again found him laying before the ark, but this time he was broken in several pieces.
The Israelites while backslidden had intended to use God to fight their battles by bringing out the ark, but that day He was with their enemies instead and He allowed the ark to be captured. You cannot use God to accomplish your will, though He may use you to accomplish His. He is the Almighty God and we are His children. Disciplined children listen to their parents.
When God said 'You shall have no other gods before Me' He actually meant it. If you place something in your life more important than Him it will crumble and you will be disappointed. Keep the Lord first in your life and everything else will fall into place. If you put something else first in your life, it will go face down.
