Judges 15: 18-20

Even the mighty Samson realizes his limitations and that he can't fulfill all of his needs and desires. Somethings are beyond what humanly can be possible no matter how big, strong, rich or influencial you are. Such was the case after his latest episode where he found himself thirsty. This was the first time he had asked God for something. Up until now, things came easy but now he was asking for something that humanly could not be produced - water in the desert. According to the commentary:

Here is another story that shows us the origin of a name. This was the first time when Samson had to ask for God’s help. Usually he just thought that he had it. God answered his prayer. This is an example of when Samson was feeling weak. The prophet Elijah behaved in a similar weak way after he had defeated a false god’s prophets at Carmel. (Look at 1 Kings 19:4.) Samson thought that he would die because he did not have any water. Then he thought that the Philistines would cut up his body. A spring came from a hollow place in the ground. So he called the place ‘Caller’s Spring’, or ‘the well of the man who called’.

All in all a decent day. Prayers continue for SC and the McBrayers - I am committed to pray for them until she is healed. Aslo prayers for Irene as is driving tomorrow down to FL and that she will get there safely over the course of a few days and that she takes her time.

Praise for today: Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66: 20
