Main idea: Success is Jesus-centered.
Read Judges 16:18-30.
Read Hebrews 11:32-34.
"By far the most developed in Hebrews 11 are Abraham and Moses, and the author hardly intends to equate Samson with these two in spirituality issues. The latter barely has enough faith to call on him who empowered him; Abraham and Moses manifest faith on another level altogether. The point is not that all these individuals have attained a “hall of fame” level of faith, but that all, even to the smallest degree, manifested faith." - K. Lawson Younger Jr.
Although we lose our spiritual sensitivity when we repeatedly disobey God’s commands, God can use flawed people who are willing to put their faith in Him. It is never too late to turn our attention back to the Lord, believing that He hears and answers our prayers.
Samon's prayer is self-centered. What could you change so that your prayers focus more on God’s interests and goals than on your own interests and goals?
How will you remember the Lord as you fulfill your obligations at work, at home, and at church? What will you do to keep Him at the center of your decisions?
