S ~ So Manoah asked him, “When your words come true, what kind of rules should govern the boy’s life and work?” The angel of the Lord replied, “Be sure your wife follows the instructions I gave her. She must not eat grapes or raisins, drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, or eat any forbidden food.”. Judges 13:12-14
O ~ Samson’s dad wanted to know the details of his son’s life and work - what is he supposed to do? Instead, the angel spoke of a vow before God. The answer was not about vocation, but about covenant.
A ~ In a world that values so highly what we do for a living, we miss out on what matters in life. The most important thing in life is our relationship with God. Compared to this, the rest simply doesn’t matter, and isn’t worth talking about.
P ~ Lord, I don’t want my work to govern my life - but rather my relationship with You. When that is in place, everything else falls into place. First things first.... following You.
