S - Judges 14:6 At that moment the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him, and he ripped the lion’s jaws apart with his bare hands. He did it as easily as if it were a young goat.
O - Sampson faced a lion and the Spirit of the Lord came on him giving him the strength and power to rip the lion's jaw apart. Even though we know Sampson was a very strong man by stories that come later, this text doesn't say that it was his strength that caused him to defeat the lion but instead the Spirit of the Lord.
A - I may not face physical struggles to the extent that Sampson did but I will indeed face trials and troubles. When these come up, I too need the Spirit of the Lord to come down on me to help me through these situations. I may be strong but the Spirit of the Lord is all powerful and having that on my side will be better than my very best strength alone.
P - God, I praise you this morning for all of the wonderful things that you have given me and for the family that I have and for the protection you have promised us. I pray today that your Holy Spirit come down on me and provide strength and wisdom throughout my day today and every day. Bless my family and me today and I pray specially for my brothers and their families and Christa's sisters and their families today. Keep all of us safe and help us all to desire you with everything in our bones.
