There is always hope for a new day, hope that the darkness won’t always seem impenetrable. There is always hope because our Redeemer lives. – Marcia Laycock
It is okay to tell God how we feel. Do not allow your heart to be complicated. The God I know gives us confidence. When God chose David as King, he saw that David was a man after God’s own heart. When we think of Samson we usually think about his failures, the steamystory of him and Delilah. It’s true that Samson lost everything, his hair, his strength, his sight, his position, his family and his reputation.
The mightiest man Israel had ever seen was now in a Philistine dungeon; blinded, humiliated, grinding corn like an ox – a laughingstock.But it is not over until God say it is over! At his lowest point, Samson cried out to God for mercy, and got it. “The hair of his head began to grow again.” His hair, which was the secret of his strength, was restored. And as a result, his greatest moments in ministry were his last ones!
You and I have so many opportunities to feel sad or discouraged and have a bad attitude, but God wants us to stay strong in him like David did. Those who do will eventually come out on top, because there’s no way the enemy can hold you back if you will trust God and keep your hope in him. Today, he is mentioned with honour in Hebrews Chapter 11, alongside the other heroes of faith.
Psalm 37:24
Though he may stumble, he will not fall,for the LORD upholds him with his hand.
