PUSH AGAIN
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him to fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. Howbeit the hair of his
head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Judges 16: 21-22
Yesterday we learnt about not giving up and trying again at the word of God. Today we want to look at an example of someone who did not give up.
Our opening verse recounts the story of Sampson and how he was captured and abused by the Philistines.
In the account, after shaving his hair, a weakened Sampson was blinded and thrown into prison. However, unknown to the Philistines and probably Sampson himself, his hair had began to grow again signifying hope for him again.
Similarly we sometimes go through situations that we seem imprisoned in; unable to break through. In such times we are also normally blind and oblivious to what God is working behind the scenes. Like Sampson's growing hair, God is working in and around you to ensure your breakthrough. So don't give up! And when placed between two pillars (a God given opportunity) like Sampson, push again! And this time you will see the manifestation of that which you've been seeking for.
LIFE APPLICATION
Don't give up on God yet. He's working things out for your good.
PRAYER
Thank you Father, that even though I can't see your hand I can trust that you are working behind the scene on my behalf.
God works in ways beyond human imaginations, sometimes we have to wait on God for the right directions, and guidance to all our needs and wants. Nice one Rose.

God always work in ways we cannot see. Behind the scenes he fight our battles, if it hadn't been for Him we would have been consumed by our enemies. We should never give up but keep trusting Him.. @rosemaryhagan
