DAY NINETEEN (Judges 15:13 – 1 Samuel 2:29)
There is so much hope and grace and promise in Judges 16:22. Even after all that Samson had done wrong, even in his broken and captive condition, his hair began to grow again!
It is the way of the kingdom. God accomplishes more through our brokenness that our strength. (Joshua 18:27-28)
Ruth is a great book that makes even more sense when you’ve read through to this point as quickly as I have. What a loyal woman Ruth was!
I am amazed at the desperation Hannah felt for a son in 1 Samuel 1 and yet how equally passionate she was about giving him to the Lord once the Lord had answered her prayer. Hold things (even people we love) with an open hand.
There is always a spiritual reality behind the gifts that we give. Leaders need to honor that. (1 Samuel 2:17)
