A
reminder for today
Then
Samson prayed to the LORD, "Sovereign LORD, remember me again. O God,
please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the
Philistines for the loss of my two eyes." Then Samson put his hands
on the two center pillars that held up the temple. Pushing against them with
both hands, he prayed, "Let me die with the Philistines." And
the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he
killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime. (Judges
16:28-30)
I just love these words: “Sovereign LORD, remember me again” Samson was defeated by the
nagging of Delilah and finally gave up his secret and ended up captured by the
Philistines. Do you allow circumstances do get you down and finally accept
defeat when you can no longer keep your head above water?
When Samson was finally captured he was taken to this
temple were the Philistines celebrated their victory over him. Samson returned
to God and basically asked for forgiveness and a second chance to redeem himself
by giving his life to destroy their enemy.
How much does it take to defeat you?
My dear friend, when God designed you he did not think of
you as someone that will lose or give up. No! God knew that He is with you and
that means that you will be able to break the pillars of circumstances and
destroy the challenges that threaten to bring you down. You have been made a
champion in Jesus Christ and this means that you are stronger than you think
and you are able to withstand the worst of storms. Do not let the enemy fool
you in thinking that you have reached the end of the line. You have what it
takes to see this through. Come with me today as we ask: Sovereign LORD, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one
more time.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
