Uni is back, and gotta get back into studies.. just 4 more weeks till the exams, then it's holidays!! There are BIG plans for the end of year, and i can't wait to get cracking into it!
Day 96.
Read about Samson today, and boy was he tank! God was surely with him, because he managed to do things that were impossible for humans, and only possible with God. He killed a looot of Philistines, and whenever he killed them, it is recorded that it was a great slaughter! Which means that he absolutely killed them, sometimes even tearing the Philistines from limb to limb. On another occasion he killed 1,000 Philistine men with a jawbone of a donkey! Is that even possible? And even after that, after taking on a 1,000 men with a donkey's jawbone, most people would have died from the injuries that they received, but Samson was different..all he needed was some water. In the Bible it was recorded that God split a hollow place in the ground and water came out of it,(that is surely God in action) then Samson drank, and his strength returned and he was revived! That's definitely not normal.. Again on another occasion, Samson ripped out a city gate and everything that was on it, and carried it to the top of a mountain.. Another example of his montrous strength which obviously cannot be coming from a mere human. Then his last display of great strength was when he pushed down the two middle pillars that were supporting the temple where the Philistines were gathered, and as a result caused the whole temple to fall, killing everything inside it, including himself. All these acts of Samson were clearly not capable for a man to do it alone, Samson had the LORD with him, and he knew it too. He knew where his power was coming from, and he also knew that God was the one giving it to him. Because right before his death, he prayed to God asking God to strengthen him once more.
Do these things still happen today? Is there a possibility that God may still strengthen people in this way? Would He though?
It's also amazing how God gave Samson a second chance by letting his hair grow back, despite Samson being foolish and ended up digging his own grave.. God forgave and gave a second chance, and He still does today!
