This is true of Samson. It is difficult to >imagine a more unworthy vessel for the work of God. It is a challenge to >decide if he carelessly disregards wisdom and the Word of God or whether >his decision-making ability is somehow impaired. Nevertheless, in spite >of his exceedingly foolish escapades, God uses him to bring judgment on >the Philistines who have flaunted their hostility toward Jehovah. > >PRAYER >• Give God praise that He uses His people even though we are all >unworthy vessels: >O Lord, our Lord, >How excellent is Your name in all the earth, >Who have set Your glory above the heavens! >Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants >You have ordained strength, >Because of Your enemies, >That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. >When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, >The moon and stars, which You have ordained, >What is man that You are mindful of him, >And the son of man that You visit him? >(Psalm 8:1-4). > >• Pray this confession as you seek to keep your life free from sin: >O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; >It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. >O Lord, correct me, but with justice; >Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing (Jeremiah 10:23-24). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray >this affirmation to the Lord: >Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust >destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves >treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where >thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there will >your heart be also (Matthew 6:19-21). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, include: >• greater appreciation of God's mercy, >• your activities for the day, >• whatever else is on your heart. >• Finally, offer this closing prayer: >Teach us to number our days, >That we may gain a heart of wisdom >(Psalm 90:12). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
