Read it: Judges 16
Live it:
Success after Success after Success. Samson lived a successful life. He saw victories, he saw the admiration of his peers, and he lived a life of comfort.
We seek after success, and desire success. But what we don’t realize is a life of success leaves little room for desperation.
We see it happen in the sports world so often. Repeating a championship is much more difficult than becoming a champion just one time because the desperation no longer exists.
And when our comfortable lives rid us of our desperation for God, the resisting of our temptations becomes more difficult. Samson saw this and caved to his temptations.
But there is so much good news. Our God doesn’t give up on us when we give up on Him. Through his kindness, he leads us to redemption.
Let me encourage you today. Don’t wait for a defeat to stay desperate for God. Be desperate every moment, every day, every year of your life.
Ps. Darren
