SAMSON.  The Story Of Samson Judges 13-16

God's greatest work in your life is still ahead of you!  His next step for you is already beginning.  His solution is already in your hand. 

Judges 15:2-5 (NLT) “I truly thought you must hate her,” her father explained, “so I gave her in marriage to your best man. But look, her younger sister is even more beautiful than she is. Marry her instead.”  3Samson said, “This time I cannot be blamed for everything I am going to do to you Philistines.” 4Then he went out and caught 300 foxes. He tied their tails together in pairs, and he fastened a torch to each pair of tails. 5Then he lit the torches and let the foxes run through the grain fields of the Philistines. He burned all their grain to the ground, including the sheaves and the uncut grain. He also destroyed their vineyards and olive groves.

Judges 15:14-17 (NLT) As Samson arrived at Lehi, the Philistines came shouting in triumph. But the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon Samson, and he snapped the ropes on his arms as if they were burnt strands of flax, and they fell from his wrists. 15Then he found the jawbone of a recently killed donkey. He picked it up and killed 1,000 Philistines with it. 16Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, I've piled them in heaps!  With the jawbone of a donkey, I've killed a thousand men!"  17When he finished his boasting, he threw away the jawbone; and the place was named Jawbone Hill.

Judges 16:28-30 (NLT) Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God, please strengthen me just one more time. With one blow let me pay back the Philistines for the loss of my two eyes.” 29Then Samson put his hands on the two center pillars that held up the temple. Pushing against them with both hands, 30he prayed, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime.


SAMSON PRINCIPLE:
STOP WAITING FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND START WORKING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!

You're not waiting on God to act, He's waiting on you to start.

Don't let what you can't do keep you from what you can do.  

If you do what you can with what you have where you are, 
God will increase what you have and he won't leave you where you are!
