## Resource

In this episode of The Creative Connection, Ed Young explores the biblical narrative surrounding the Ark of the Covenant and the prophet Samuel to illustrate the danger of trying to "use" God for personal gain and the futility of attempting to confine God to a "box." He exhorts believers to surrender themselves to be used by God rather than trying to manipulate God, emphasizing that true blessings come through obedience and that God desires to actively use and capture His people with His grace and mercy.
