Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Samson has wasted almost everything, prays once, and God answers. What does that show you about God?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • He was the strongest man alive and it did not keep him out of trouble. What does that say about strength?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one thing you will bring to God this week instead of hiding it?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who thinks they have ruined things too badly to come back? What could you tell them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Samson wasted a lot of his strength, and at the end he prayed and you heard him. Thank you that you listen even after we have made a mess. Help me come back to you quickly.
