Judges 15:14-15
As Samson arrived at Lehi, the Philistines came shouting in triumph. But the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon Samson, and he snapped the ropes on his arms as if they were burnt strands of flax, and they fell from his wrists. Then he found the jawbone of a recently killed donkey. He picked it up and killed 1,000 Philistines with it.

Samson was faced with an army that wanted to kill him. He could have fled, surrendered or wasted time calculating his slim chances of victory without a sword to attack or a shield to protect himself.
However, an invincible weapon had been bestowed on him: the power of God that makes everything possible. With what little he had at hand—just the jawbone of a donkey—he activated the power of God to face the enemy head-on, and God gave him an unforgettable victory.
Consider that God has also put at your fingertips what you need to face your difficulties. You have to believe that inside you there is talent and creativity that although the resources seem scarce, they are enough to get you through.
Do not give up! Begin this new day determined to draw on the power of God, and it will come upon you to give you a great victory.
You may want to pray something like this: Father God, thank You for Your Word that brings such encouragement and counsel to my life. I lift up my arms, seeking Your aid, believing that with You everything is possible. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
Have a blessed day!
