God's Strength for Man's Weakness

The Lord doesn't just meet needs, He exceeds expectations. In today's story we see the miracle working power of our great God. You can find in Him everything you need, and more than enough.

When you come to "nothing" you are on the right track! That is where God demonstrates His power. If you feel weak and incapable, thank the Lord! He is humbling you to bring you to Himself.

We all have needs. Whatever your need may be today it is God's messenger to you - a reminder that the strongest, most self-sufficient people need the Lord. Allow your need to drive you to God!

If lust was Samson’s besetting sin then pride was his root sin. In some ways pride is the root of every sin. Ask God to root out every self-sufficient, proud thought in your own heart. We need God’s strength for our weakness.

We all are a composite of the relationships of life. Be careful who you give your heart to! In this brief study we learn how a person gives their heart away and how not to give it to the wrong person.

Sin starts small; it just never stays that way. Today we examine the little beginnings that lead to huge consequences. Learn from the life of Samson what NOT to do with your life.

The holy life has less to do with your distance from the world and more to do with your nearness to God. The closer you grow to a holy God the further you will find yourself from unholy things. From an Old Testament story we find an eternal principle about the life separated to God.

Samson was one of three men identified in Scripture as Nazarites. His calling was a holy one. Yet big vows are often broken by small compromises. Today we see how this strong man failed to keep the vow he had made to God.

Have you ever wondered how one life can get so messed up? This is what sin does one step at a time. Samson’s life is a warning to us all of the downward spiral of sin.

Men are remembered for extraordinary days, but they are made on ordinary ones. When a man has a great public failure it is usually preceded by small private failures. A vivid picture of this is seen in Samson’s life in the days before Delilah.
