Reflect
Throughout the accounts of Samson and Micha, we see themes of idolatry and spiritual drift. Are you letting compromise slowly shape your worship, or are you seeking to honor God according to His Word?
"O Lord, in Samson we have a reminder that the lusts of our flesh, if indulged, will prove to be the means of our downfall. When we think we are strong, then we are most weak. Thank You that in this man with so many glaring faults, we still see glimpses of Your intervening power and grace. Amen." —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth1
