Samson's secret to his strength was not his hair. Most people believe that it was his hair that made him strong. But what really made Samson strong was his covenant relationship with God. From before his birth, his mother was commanded to keep certain rules to identify Samson as one in relationship with God. So his long uncut hair spoke of his covenant with God. When the hair was cut the covenant was broken, thus he lost his power. Christians are in covenant with God. It is that covenant that gives us supernatural strength. When that covenant relationship is broken we are weak as normal men. The Bible declares that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. We have joy with the Lord because we live by faith. When the enemy robs us of our joy, or causes us to lose faith, we become weak like normal men. What is the difference between a Christian and normal men? We have peace, love and joy the world knows not, which gives us feats of supernatural strength in the face of adversity. Anyone can be happy when nothing is going wrong. But we have happiness in the midst of the storm. What great strength! What great Joy! What a great blessing being bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh!
Be blessed,
Billy and Jan Wells
