Samson vs. the Lion


The Spirit of The LORD came powerefully upon him so that he tore the 
lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat.
Judges 14

Disciples Desert Jesus



From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God."
John 6:66-68 NIV

Psalm 28


 To you, LORD, I call; 

   you are my Rock, 
   do not turn a deaf ear to me. 
For if you remain silent, 
   I will be like those who go down to the pit. 

Hear my cry for mercy 
   as I call to you for help, 
as I lift up my hands 
   toward your Most Holy Place.

 Do not drag me away with the wicked, 

   with those who do evil, 
who speak cordially with their neighbors 
   but harbor malice in their hearts. 

Repay them for their deeds 
   and for their evil work; 
repay them for what their hands have done 
   and bring back on them what they deserve.

 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD 

   and what his hands have done, 
he will tear them down 
   and never build them up again.

 Praise be to the LORD, 

   for he has heard my cry for mercy. 

The LORD is my strength and my shield; 
   my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. 
My heart leaps for joy, 
   and with my song I praise him.

 The LORD is the strength of his people, 

   a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. 

Save your people and bless your inheritance; 
   be their shepherd and carry them forever.
