“And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.”
Judges 13:24-25 KJV
Manoah’s (rest or restoring) wife gave birth to a son, and she named him Samson (a sunbeam). The boy grew up with Yahweh’s blessing on his life. The Spirit of Yahweh began to stir his heart while he was between Zorah (a hornet’s nest) and Eshtaol (a narrow pass). Samson was the twelfth judge in Jewish history. God’s Spirit moved on him powerfully and empowered him. Samson was ordinary but when Yahweh’s Spirit empowered him, he became extraordinary! His faith is commended in the new covenant in the hall of fame of outstanding faith. Today, because of the finished work of the Cross of Christ, ordinary people are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do extraordinary exploits for our God. Let’s believe that! Amen!
