SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: He lost his respect for his parents
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Judges 14:1-4
Message of the verses: “1 ¶
Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the
daughters of the Philistines. 2 So he
came back and told his father and mother, "I saw a woman in Timnah, one of
the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a
wife." 3 Then his father and his
mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your
relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the
uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her
for me, for she looks good to me." 4
However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for
He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the
Philistines were ruling over Israel
In many of
Warren Wiersbe’s commentary he writes:
“When God is not permitted to rule in our lives He overrules and works
out His will in spite of our decisions.”
He goes on to say that we are eventually the losers for God still gets
done what He wants to get done, but the misfortune is that we are not credited
for the victory.
With this
been said I think that Samson could get done what God wanted him to get done in
a way that would he would have followed the Law of the Lord and obeyed his
parents.
Samson was
breaking many of the commandments by doing what he wanted to do, for he was
looking out for himself, and not the will of the Lord.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Doing things in the will of the Lord is not
always the easiest at the time, but God will give grace to me when I decided to
follow His will and a big part of that is keeping His commandments, for by doing
that I am loving the Lord Jesus Christ.
My Steps of Faith for
Today:
- Trust and obey for there is no other way, to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey.
