Bible Saturday 9/21: The Samson Trap

Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?

Psalms 27:1-14. Verses 3-6, from what attack do I need God’s deliverance today? In practical terms what would that look like? What must I do to be ready?

Judges 16::1-31. Allegorically, what are the lies and lures with which the Delilah of worldliness seeks to undo God’s people in these times? How am I like Samson?

II Corinthians 1:12-2:2. Verses 18-20, related question, how does a “yes and no” attitude weaken my fidelity to Jesus Christ?

Luke 6:46-49. Verse 46, related again, what’s one command of Jesus that I can follow a little better today than I did yesterday?
