THE LORD HAD DEPARTED

Judges 16:20

And Delilah said, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” So he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as before, and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.

Personal Challenge

In Old Testament times, prior to the incarnation, death and resurrection of Christ, the Holy Spirit would be sent to dwell within certain people in order to empower them to do God’s work. Samson was one of these people. However, he abused this power and ultimately it deported from him. His life was devastated after that. With the work that Jesus did, God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within every follower of Christ. Through His power, we, too, can do God’s work. Our challenge is to not quench the Holy Spirit in our lives. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercyl
