Preparation

How does God prepare me for what he has in store for me?

God’s Response

When her son was born, they named him Samson. And the LORD blessed him as he grew up. Judges 13:24

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil God can use for his purpose. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21

A final word: Be strong with the Lord’s mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. Ephesians 6:10-11

As soon as Samson was born, God’s spirit began to work in him to prepare Samson for a unique job. Samson was supposed to do his part in return—listen for God’s voice, obey his clear instructions, and act on the opportunities God would bring to him. Sadly, Samson didn’t do this and never reached his full potential. What is the Spirit of the Lord preparing you for? The key to recognizing his work in your life is first to obey God’s clear instructions for living as found in the Bible. If you follow God, your life will go in the right direction.

God’s Promise

Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed. Joshua 1:8
