Today's Reading

Judges today gives us the story of Samson. It's fascinating, tragic and full of lessons. In a way, it was Samson's pride that brought him down rather than the loss of his hair. He thought he could always outwit the enemy and he couldn't. The Lord left Samson, causing his weakness. It stands to reason that the return of Samson's strength indicate repentance. I am struck with the mercy and kindness of God!

John: Jesus, full of love for people, knew He couldn't entrust Himself to us. God is faithful. Always. We can be very fickle, but not God.

Psalms: no matter how much we struggle, God is full of unfailing love. Like Samson, all we must do is yield ourselves to Him. What a blessing!

Proverbs shows that wisdom is like a treasure that can be buried deep. It is worth the time, energy and input from others to dig out.
