and at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
One of the problems of the world today is as Peter described. He said you only see that which is close. "You do not see that which is far off" ( 2 Peter 1:9 ). And we only so many times look at an experience for the immediate benefits, but this is always, always the snare of Satan. Shortcut. You don't have to take God's way. You can have immediate fulfillment. And just about every enticement that Satan lays before you, the bait is immediate fulfillment.
