Here’s Samson - tied up by the men of Judah, turned over to the Philistines - when suddenly, the Spirit of God comes upon him. He pops the ropes and starts swinging the jawbone of a donkey. When he’s done, one thousand Philistines lay dead.

This cracks me up. I mean, the Philistines had the most advanced weapon’s system of their day. But in Judges 3, Shamgar killed six hundred of them with an ox goad. And here, twelve chapters later, one thousand more are beaten with the jawbone of a donkey. Later on, Goliath - the greatest Philistine of them all - will be beaten with a stone and a sling. Isn’t that just like the Lord to use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, the weak to show up the strong? Look at us - we’re ox goads, jawbones, stones. We’re perfect examples of the foolish things of the world confounding the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27).

In your own personal battles, God can use whatever is in your hand. “That’s nothing,” the world will scoff. But with the Spirit of God - it becomes something mighty.
