Personalities

Judges 16:1-3

16 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.

3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem




Our Father in Heaven,
How Hallowed,
Magnificent,
and Sanctified
is Your Most Holy Name!
How Blessed and How True is Your Word,
and How Mighty!
How Glorious,
to Span the Millennia,
To be Unfettered by Time and Space,
To Know The End from the Beginning
and the Beginning from The End!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.



”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

Last Night was so much fun! About a dozen Scottish Soccer Hooligans showed up at Open Mike Nite at my sister's and my usual Tuesday Night activity. The were the same group of somewhat rowdy men who arrived a few days ago at Logan Airport, resplendent in their kilts after totally exhausting the Jumbo Jet's supply of Food and Adult Beverages. They were following Scotland's Team across America, had a victory last weekend, and would soon be flying to Miami for the next FIFA round.

The whole evening was filled with boisterous cheering and singing, and the "lads" got up several times to sing Karaoke. One man said:

"I LOVE AMERICA! HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY!"

All of the men were very "beefy", as they probably played soccer as well as cheered their team. They seem to grow 'em BIG up there in Edinburgh.

All the Bible illustrations show Samson with a similar physique. Big, beefy, and with rippling muscles, he's obviously the Strong Man.

It's been noted that Samson's actual strength didn't come from Working Out, Lifting Weights, or Bodybuilding. He knew where his strength came from, and yet continued to flout the Law of God.

In yesterday's Reading, we learned that Samson was a Judge for Twenty Years. That meant that he was in a position of Political and Religious Authority, and that people depended upon him for guidance and decisions. There was a certain amount of respect and gravitas associated with his Position, and yet, here he is, visiting a prostitute in an enemy city. He puts himself in danger, and responds to his attackers by ripping the City Gates off their hinges and carrying them to Hebron.

How many times have we read of someone in a position of authority getting caught in a compromising situation? It's very discouraging for the faithful who try to keep God's Law and live a decent life. We need to know in our hearts that, when these disappointments happen, that we are dealing with human beings. Some have been extremely gifted by God, but they're still only human.

Samson's reaction was one of hubris and defiance. But...God isn't finished with him yet.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Amen, good word, especially when considering leaders. I wonder if Samson had any decendents.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
