In prison Samson prayed: \u2018Please strengthen me one more time\u2026 Then Samson pushed against the pillars with all his might\u2026 And the temple crashed down upon the Philistine leaders and all the people. So those he killed at the moment of his death were more than those he had killed during his entire lifetime.\u2019<\/i> (Judges\u00a016:28\u201330\u00a0TLB) <\/p>\n
How did Samson end up in this prison? Delilah! The Bible says, \u2018She nagged at him every day.\u2019<\/i> (Judges\u00a016:16\u00a0TLB) Satan is persistent, and he waits to catch you in an unguarded moment. That\u2019s why there are certain doors in life you should never open. If you feed the wrong appetite for a day, you can end up struggling with it for a lifetime. <\/p>\n
Perhaps you have seen the poster that says: \u2018Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you\u2019d better be running.\u2019 <\/p>\n
The good news is, Samson remembered God! And it\u2019s a wonderful day when you remember God and reach again for Him. Notice that Samson\u2019s greatest victory was recorded in the final chapter of his life after he\u2019d turned back to God. In fact, he is named among the heroes of faith in Hebrews chapter eleven. Regardless of where you are today or what shape you\u2019re in, turn to God. He will help you make a comeback. It\u2019s not too late for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
