Reflection Verse:  Judges 16:3

Reflection”  God empowered Samson to pull up the entire gate system, put it on his shoulders and carry it to the top of the hill facing Israel. God did this to show Samson’s great strength which he had in God. The Philistines had set a trap for him, but God was with Samson, so, Samson was able to escape – AND he show Israel he had. Beloved, when God is on your side – He is more than any enemy or obstacle you may face. God will empower you to be more than a conqueror through Him. Trust God today! 

Prayer:  Holy Father; my help and strength. Thank You for being with me to assist me with the many obstacles that I face on my journey. I am so aware, that without you I am weak and will ultimately fail. However, Your grace and mercy is my strength. All of my help and strength is in You.  My hope is in You. Thank You for delivering me from sin and redeeming me from sin’s curse… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
