And right smack dab when Israel was in distress,
Samson was born.
Son of a long childless mom.
"Mercies often waited for, often prove signal mercies,
and by them others may be encouraged to continue their hope in God's mercy."
Matthew Henry.
When you feel your trouble the most,
God often sends comfort.
There are answers to prayer I hold closely---
the birth of Britt after 7 years,
the victory over cancer after 10 years,
the amazing freedom from a shattering betrayal.
Signal mercies.
Henry wrote:
"Sin dispirits men; it hides from their eyes the things that belong to their peace."
When the Spirit of God came upon Samson, his cords were loosed. The victory for Samson was common means---the sorry jawbone of an animal slew a thousand.
