The Daily Grind

R. Mangold

The Philistines took him, and put out his eyes…and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. (Jud. 16:21) Samson was banished to the daily “grind” of prison. He literally walked in circles. But, with each turn of the grinder wheel, his strength returned. Your trials have you walking in circles. Progress can be slow, but under the Master’s artful eye, each turn of the wheel reveals yet another facet of His Love. And, you never want that to come to a “grinding” halt!

Blinded and Buzz Cut

R. Mangold

Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. [Jud. 16:22] Blinded and buzz-cut, Samson’s hair grew back as did his strength, allowing him greater power in the end. What spiritual source of strength, i.e. prayer, Bible study, or coming to church, have you cut off that’s blinded you to God’s vision for you? Learn from Samson; don’t let past failures derail you from regaining your strength.

The Power of ONE

R. Mangold

The POWER of ONE! One bite of the fruit (Adam). One glance over the shoulder (Lot’s Wife). One strike of the rock (Moses). One haircut (Samson). One touch of the Ark (Uzzah). One lustful look at a bathing beauty (David). One selfless act at Calvary. One empty tomb. One Lord. One Faith. One baptism.
