Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines. They encamped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped at Aphek. 2 The Philistines drew up in line against Israel, and when the battle spread, Israel was defeated before the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men on the field of battle. 3 And when the people came to the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord here from Shiloh, that it[a] may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies.” 

1 Samuel 4:1-3

“THE ENEMY OF PURSUIT IS CHANCE”

The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.

Psalm 14:2

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

THE PURSUIT IS ON YOU. 

 instead of a fresh pursuit, they looked to old methods to solve their problems. 

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

1 Chronicles 16:11
