Grace for your spirit
She said, "the Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free," But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. Judges 16:20
Samson was the strong man of Israel. He was called to be a great judge and deliver his people from their enemies, the Philistines. He had a lot of power, but he never found the wisdom to use that power for good. He spent most of his adult life naively and foolishly sleeping with the enemy. Only he and God knew the secret to his strength, but he toyed with those who wanted to destroy him. He foolishly thought that he could overcome any obstacle, but he was wrong. He revealed the truth about the secret in his long hair to Delilah, and she did him in. With his hair cut, the Lord and his strength left him without him knowing it. Without the Lord, he had no defence against his enemies, and ended up weak, blind, and dead. God has given us all a great commission. May we not be naive and foolish, giving our strength away. The Lord needs us to be strong and deliver His people from the world.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
