Today's Devotion

Our God of new things

Stephen Lungu - International Team Leader

Our God is a God of new things. He has never run out of new ideas from the eternal past to the eternal future. When one door closes, He open another. Where there are mountains, He levels them to make a way. Isn’t He awesome? He is a God who is moving forward. That is the God we often try to confine in our little religious pattern base we call Churches and organizations. The way He won victories with Abraham is different to the way He did with Moses, Joshua, Samson and the little boy David.

Humanly speaking, after God did mighty things through the single hand of Samson, Samson got familiar with God “I will go out as before” (Judges 16:20) Remember that Samson said these words while he was in chains. He had been chained in his sleep. In other words, he said this as he woke up. These were words about his past experience. He was in the habit of doing the same old things again and again. He won victories from his past experiences. Hence, two things happened here; one - Samson was chained in his sleep and two - he thought in his mind “I will go out as before”.

While past experiences are like a history book for us to learn from, may we not be found asleep in our past experiences.

Prayer

“Father, may we not repeat the same mistake as Samson of going out with last year’s victories and experiences and become complacent - yes of going out as before. Amen”
