God will always save us from our worse tenancies by putting his finger on things we love more than him often at great personal pain.

The Israelites enjoyed the spoils of a contest David won against Goliath--even though they cowered from the fight. Christians enjoy the eternal spoils of Christ's victory over sin, shame, and death.

Just as God showed his power of Egypt's gods, He shows his triumph over sin and death through Jesus Christ.

God uses our self-perceived inadequacies to magnify his glory in evangelism.

We either die in Adam or live in Christ. Draw near to Christ to receive eternal life.

God’s name and reputation is the guarantee of our salvation. He has linked His glory to our deliverance, so we can have assurance than no matter our circumstances, we are His.

God is faithful to send a prophet to serve His people by bringing comfort and clarity. Samuel is a foreshadow of Jesus, the final prophet.

If we misunderstand the purpose and meaning of our strengths, they can become liabilities. Samson's supernatural birth and sacrificial death anticipate Jesus's incarnation. But its Jesus's humility in which we see the meaning of true strength.
