Why was Samson with lady who has attempted to deliver him to his enemies thrice. We always seem to overestimate ourselves and think that we can surround ourselves with certain people and not be influenced by them. Just by not walking in the counsel of the unglody, nor standing in the way of sinners, nor sitting in the sits of the scornful we are blessed. The opposite happens to those who do like Samson

The little recorded about Vashit speaks volumes about the lady she was. Though very beautiful she need more to sustain what her beauty got her, which is wisdom. According James wisdom is easily entreated but Queen Vashit could not be entreated by 7 nobles to heed to the King

The bible can be referred to as the "past questions and answers" to life. The truths in the Bible among others are to teach us how to make right choices in life. It is not just about learning from what others did but also learning from the mistakes of others. Judas valued his relationship with Jesus, the uncreated creator for 30 pieces of sliver.

Not being fully convinced of our advantage as God's children causes us to abandon projects. One arsenal we take for granted is prophesies, so Paul had to remind the church not to despise prophesying.

We cannot afford to be naive regarding the several giants that seek to rob us of the energy and joy with which we will need to finish projects we start. Without even realizing our dreams remain dreams. Jesus at Gethsemane wanted to throw in the towel and so will we also want to be passive and even abandon projects we start.

The joy and energy with which we have dreams and start projects seems to be non-existent not long after. The characteristics of our Father is, He declares the end from the beginning and finishes whatever He starts. And as his, children we are to be imitators of God.

Jonah was so convinced of the mercies and grace of God that he knew God would have still found a way to save the land of Nineveh. We have to understand that we are never beyond the saving grace of God regardless of our deeds.

How fascinating it is that just these few words from the prophet Jonah was able to drive the entire land of Nineveh into fasting and repentance to seek the face of God. Sometimes we may feel reluctant to obey the commands of God but if we just do, the effect is always tremendous.

It is interesting how we only turn to God when we have exhausted all our avenues of help. God should always be our first point of call in our times of trouble.
